Granted it was made for it, but, I always used the centerstand on my GS1000E when packed for traveling (remember it was fully dressed like a H-D Roadking). It was a beast to get lifted that 1 inch... pushing down on the stand, lifting up one the grab bar and pulling the bike backwards to rock it up onto the stand. Of course, there is a difference between 900 lbs fully loaded big bike and 330 lbs little bike. It will be an interesting learning event.

The GN250 got its additional clearance from a 3.00-18 front tire and 4.60-16 rear compared to the 110-16 front and 130-15 rear in the GZ. I'd sure like to find a set of those GN cast wheels and try them out... as sharp looking as the fella on here with the chinese cast wheels on his GZ
