I had that lift, and it worked great on my Suzuki VL1500, to pull both wheels and haul them down to the shop for tire replacement. That bike had a frame running under the motor though, so I sold the lift when I traded the LC in for the vstrom. The vstroms don't have that frame to lift by, so I prop them up on the centerstand, and suspend it from the rafters in the garage, rocking it forward to remove the rear wheel, then backward to pull the front. I get a good price on tires, and mount and balance for $17 per wheel, done in an afternoon. But, if there were a way to use the lift on the vstrom, I'd buy another, hanging the bike with straps works, but makes me nervous. Seems I saw a welded metal frame somewhere once, used to lift the vstrom with, but I can't remember.
