Kendon has one out that till now I haven’t seen (or noticed) before. As you would expect it’s pricey compared to imports. I like the features though.
1200 lb capacity. Utlizes a wheel front wheel chock and can be easily disassembled (into two halves) for easy storage by removing two sturdy pins.
$600 shipped

This Condor dolly also looks good. I’m just less familiar with their company. $585

Maybe it’s the angle, but those things look awfully narrow to me (tipover risk). And seem like a pain in the butt for a bike that gets regular use. But I’ve never used one.

I thought the same till I looked at it more closely. The Kendon has tie downs, and it’s about two feet wide. I was trying to post the demo video but haven’t had any success. I would only use one like this if I was trying to shove one bike up against the wall so I could ride a second one in and out more easily. Not sure if it’s the right solution or not. It looks like I have room for another bike between my current parking spot and the garage wall utilizing a dolly.

i just have the HF one, but its nice as it allowed me to pushed the bike right up to the wall and park two cars in the garage before i build the detached. also nice to spin it around inside the garage pre-departure and just ride out rather than the usual backing out drill. no issues with it tipping over

quick edit, also though HF one has worked for me, i dont think id trust it for the weight of a touring bike

One other thought, if you can find a J&S jack grab one and use that for dolley/maintenance. That thing glides along effortlessly.

Also nice to jack up the bike while cleaning 👌
 
I just move both cars out of the garage and park my bike up against the wall. Mine has a centerstand though so it sits straight up. There wouldn't be enough room to pull the cars back in if it was leaning over on the side stand. ALL bikes should come with a centerstand, IMO.

I arrived at pretty much the same conclusion awhile back. I had two touring bikes in that same spot last year parked diagonally, and it worked reasonably well.
But it sucked up somewhat more space that impacted the wife getting in and out of her car with the toddler, and arms full of everything that comes with her 5-6 days a week.

I’m just trying to get the most use out of what space I have, and a second bike is always on the radar.

I have 2 of the HF ones. Like others have said they are great to store bikes against the wall, and to roll and turn them around. Yes they will hold a touring bike, had my old Goldwing on one a few times.
