My Fazer had a centre stand and I used it maybe a dozen times in 16 years,

Interesting. I use it every time I lubricate the chain. Every 500 km and/or every week.

Agreed, I could never own a bike without one, I use the center stand much more often than the side stand.

My bad, what I meant was that I rarely parked the bike on the centre stand, of course I used it to lube the chain.

I have a paddock stand for the Tracer.

+1 on loving the Center Stand, I use mine all the time for maintenance, and usually put the bike on the center stand when I'm done riding as well. Not sure why, but it feels more stable on the center stand than the side stand (and easier access for lubing and maintenance items.
