Easy way to move bikes?
 
I saw a product on an American website that allows you to push your bike onto a small platform, which has castors / wheels underneath. The wheels move in all directions which allows you to move your bike around real easy.

This could be real useful if you need to get your bike right to the top of the garage so you can get your car in as well or you have to move your bike in a tight space.

Anyone seen a product in the UK does a similar thing please?

What Razor said. Easy and cheaper! (as long as you don't drop it!!)

Is this how the Yanks do corners?

Sorry, I'll get my coat!:D

You can use the sidestand quite well to 'spin' the bike around. Although not sure how long it could take the weight of the whole bike, I'd hate to see it snap off.

I have to put the bike at the top of the garage to then get my car in.

My existing bike is not an issue (125cc) as I can push the nose into the top left corner of the garage and lift the back into place.

However, I don't think I'll be able to lift the back of the SV650 I have ordered into place (come on Appleyards when am I going to get it?).

I couldn't at first, but now I regularly lift the rear of the bike using the grab rail. Mainly for moving the tyre valve when I'm checking pressures.
