Bonneville Engine Stand

(reposted form another less obvious thread)

My daughter is designing and constructing an engine stand for a Bonnie as part of her GSCE work in Resistant Materials. She is now at the stage in her coursework where she needs to prove the product with 'Market research' So where better than here?

We would both be very grateful if as many of you as possible could spend a minute replying to the following questions, which will be used to gauge demand for various design requirments 'on the market'. Genevieve has worded the questions herself based entirely on her own thinking (don't worry about filling in your age if you don't feel comfortable!).

We don't have a lot of 'target market' bikers to ask locally so please assist as it is for my daughter's schoolwork...and ultimately for my Bonnie!

Thanks to GrandPaulZ & 666Bonneville for your responses on the other thread. We would appreciate a few more please!
