Since back in the day with my CB750 Four, I have always taken the bike off the center stand by sitting on the bike, hands on the handle bar grips, with feet out to the sides ( in case of lean over ), and using my body weight to rock it forward off the center stand. Using the front brake as the bike rolls off the center stand to limit forward roll. It is easy to do that way, unless the owner short legs, and/or doesnt have enough body weight. I have always found the center stand to be very stable, never had a tip over using it, but have had it sink into hot asphalt as other have pointed out.
