I use one that i bought from M&P. IRC it cost £68 with free post. Plus you have to buy an adapter pin for around £24. The pin comes free with some sellers. It can withstand the bike plus my 17st sitting on the passenger seat.

Pitbull forward pull stands are great for BMW and you can order various sized Hub pins. I have had one for years and have used it interchangeably with various Ducati and BMW bikes.Very stout and have never had any issues.
