Can see the reasoning for not factory fitting centre stands to out & out sports bikes in interest of weight saving but for Fazers which are used for everything from scratching to touring! To me its exploitative greed by Yamaha. Do you know what the list price of a centre stand is? Its pure cost cutting /hidden price increase. The cost of fitting @ factory is minimal & would allow purchasers of new bikes the option of using or removing. :rolleyes
