I owned a CB500XA for 3 years before trading it in on my 2017 CB1100 EX. It was a great bike, although I did find it a bit wound up on 4 lane highways. Probably would have been the perfect bike with a 700cc motor.
I probably weight 230 pounds with my motorcycle gear on. I never had problems putting large motorcycles on their center stands before. But I can stand on the CB1100 EX center stand lever while lifting the seat, and it takes its sweet time rolling back into the locked position.
I only tried parking on a downward slope of a parking lot once with my EX. Despite me standing full weight on the center stand lever, it rolled forward. Fortunately I am tall and was able to reach the front brake handle.
