I spin my bikes on the side-stand all the time these days as my long sloped driveway makes it a pain to push the bike down backwards. I started doing it on my 125 as I commute every day on it and it was tiresome to keep turning it round the traditional way so as the bike is light I started practising and I can now spin it no problem at all. Took a bit of nerve to try it on the Hornet but as long as you brace the side-stand with your foot and get a good grip on the opposite side of the bike its actually quite easy.

As I said - took some building up to though...
