Anyone know if there's a centre(main) stand available for a 2014 Suzuki RV125 Van Van as there are two large diameter holes in the frame under the engine ?. local S dealer gives a 'shrug'.

No there isn't one - at least not unless they've made one for the 200. But even then, I''m pretty sure that even those holes you mention aren't for that, nor could they be. Iow, even if the 200 can accommodate one, it wouldn't be possible to use it on the 125 (w/out modification of either bike, stand or both).

Thanks Trevor, you've pretty much confirmed what I thought. It really is crap not fitting these things to bikes, they're essential, you can't even adjust your chain easily and when it comes to getting the wheels out for tyre changing................what a pain in the ass !.

When I had one I used a paddock stand - it was a faff but I got into a routine and so quite soon it became fairly quick and easy. Centre stands are underrated though, especially for the less sporty chain-driven sort of bikes - okay they add weight, but that's off-set by the convenience of being able to clean and oil the chain. Nowadays even the most sober and sensible bikes like the NC750 don't come with one - it's an extra that iirc costs a fair chunk over a ton.
