Somebody here has a good looking home built unit in there photo album. It mounts from the side and swings up (kind of like if you had a set of forks on a skid steer or regular skip loader instead of a bucket).

Bought a floor lift, but it is heavy (supposedly moveable -- but just) and takes up a lot floor space (mostly you can park a car over it though). There is another one out there that just got a redesign that looks a lot easier (they make a folding bike hauler as well). But both are on the pricey side.
I have the sears ATV lift...I did not want to store myR3 on it. I did a variation on the home made utility lift. I used 4x4 and a 2" pip(that I padded with pipe insulation) I did want any accidental dents or scratches. The problem with the R# is that it is a little heavy towards the back. That is why I used a plate & angle iron to tie into the engine eyelits. The jack tilts up under the plate and the front blocks slide uner. The straps hold her in place.(extra protection) It is very stable.
