I guess the Honda designers thought the bike looked coolest leaning way over on a short kickstand.
I'm still new, but it's quite disconcerting tipping the bike so far over onto its side stand. I guess the danger is getting used to that much lean to the point you might miss that your kickstand isn't actually deployed when you lean it over.
The gentleman who cut a hockey puck to size and epoxied it onto the stand is sounding wiser and wiser.
When I first got the bike, I was "ooh better do something about the kickstand," then I was "ah, you'll just get used to it!"
Now, I'm shopping for a hockey puck.

I was looking at black, but they do also come in red. This type might offer a bit of shock absorbtion?
