Not a big deal, just an observation. The 6 cyl engine puts a lot of weight forward and the center stand is located fairly far backwards.
That's a K Bike thing. Our three and four cylinder K bikes were that way.
The pivot point of the center stand on a R Bike must be closer to the center of gravity.
