Fed up of crawling on all 4s to get to the nether regions of my ZZR6 I've finally realised its time to buy a bike lift and crawler for my garage.

However, I'm not overly sure what kind of lift to go for: hydraulic lifts are probably easier, but are more expensive; while the manual crank with a rod might require more physical effort but is cheaper. And given I probably won't be using the lift all that often I don't see much point in getting something expensive just to sitting in the garage for weeks or months on end.

Just wondered if anyone has any personal recommendations? I've had a look at a few on the Busters & M&P sites. There's one or two nice ones at around £50 that might do the job, but is there anything I should look for?

Cheers

Pay as much as you can afford and make sure thsat the load range is suitable for your bike. I have seen hydraulic ones on the bay from private sellers who have sold their bikes. usually hardly used and in tip top condition. Be patient and one will come along.

I have a SEALY made hydraulic table and lifts my yamaha 1300 no problem make sure its in your bikes weight limit, wouldnt be without one..
