Front and rear paddock stands or an Abba? Pro's/cons? I used paddock stands for the FZR, but would need to buy a new one for the Mille. Wondering if it's worth investing in the Abba stand anyway.

Paddock stands do not allow for removal of the suspension system. That being said, it's not every day you have to remove the front forks and/or the swing arm.

Abba stand all the way. No risk involved getting the bike on and off of it single handed, it's extremely stable in use and you can jack the front end up while the bike's on the stand if you need access. Thumbs Up

I prefer the abba stand, it doesn't take much more time to set up than the paddock.

Abba stand.

Can be set up to lift virtually anything, so it's the only stand you will ever need, unless you have a pit crew career.
