I did not really notice the lack of center ("centre" in Canada) stand until I was at home and trying to find it with my foot, then remembered that Honda did not ship this bike with one as a standard option!
7th Gen owners, do you miss it? Did you get one? I had one on all my other ST bikes, mainly for chain service, and luggage loading, although in malls and parking, I felt safer with it on the stand than on the side stand. I have not decided if I will get one, but am leaning towards yes.
