Bike lift

I was thinking of getting a bike lift (capable of lifting my KZ1000LTD)and wondered if anyone could recommend a decent one that does`nt cost the earth.

I managed to buy a second hand Sealey MC400.
The new equivalent is the MC401.
Unfortunately they run at £650 new but in my view they are just the right stability for our heavy old bikes.

Thanks for the info tlc-I`ve seen a lift/ramp called foxhunter which looks similar to the sealey and draper models - they appear fairly robust with decent reviews...

I have the Foxhunter lift. Bought from Amazon at Christmas. Make sure you get the right one as there are 2 types and one wont have a long enough bed for a large capacity old bike.
For amateur use I would say it's fine. Weighs a ton but has wheels so easy to move around. Raises easily and ram holds just fine. Slight wobble if you dont put the lock bar through the lift mechanism.
They do take up a lot of space though!
