backing up a heavy bike is a pain in the butt. my bike weighs around 600 lbs and it's not easy to back up a hill at all, even a little bit of a hill. when i park it i make sure the weight is working with the kick stand and not against it, the kick stand can come down quite easily as i have found out already when i was putting on my new pipes. after setting there for a min looking at it on the ground scared to pick it up and see the damage i finally went to pick it up and surprisingly the bike was very easy to pick up after it fell over, there was a little scratch on the front fender and that was about it. i was quite lucky,

a bike that is really top heavy would not have been so easy to pick up. take a dolly lay it down on its back and put 4 boxes on it, the box on the bottom weighs 100 lbs and the rest of the boxes weigh 10 lbs, now try to lift it up, its gonna lift up quite easily due to the weight placement and leverage now put that 100 lb box on top of the other boxes and try to pick up that dolly. it is going to be hard to pick up,
