As my knee's have finally given up after a lifetime's grovelling on
cold garage floors I'm looking to equip the workshop with a hydraulic
bench / table type thingy.

Can anyone recommend one that is stable and safe but costs less than
the bike itself???

That looks okay, but....isn't it going to flatten the exhaust pipes of any
bike that has them under the engine?
(Look at how it supports the bike)

His other one looks a better bet and the price ain't out of the way:

Looks Ok.
Ebay has plenty to choose from, depends on the budget really.
We had 3 at a place I used to work at for small plant hire machinery
stripdowns etc. I put the Trophy on one once and strapped it down, seemed
precarious but was ok.
It's a case of pick n choose
