Hydraulic Bike Lift help

Looking to get one for xmas. I've seen the Sealey's and also the ones on Ebay.
Any recommendations
What weight do I need for bike and fluids
Bikes, 749 & 1200 gs
Thanks

Go for the best you can afford
I bought a second hand one on Ebay this time last year and its SO useful and usable.
The bike is ultra stable when up in the air and its far more solid than the Sealey 390 ones my local dealer uses.
It's nice that the lifting pedals and reservoir are remote so there aren't any levers to trip over whilst working.
Rated at 500 kg it will hold the 1150 GSA with ease
It's Itallian made and a top bit of kit IMO

I've got a Sealey Yankee 400 kg lift bought
July 2005. Cost £430 including VAT. Brilliant bit of kit. There's nothing like doing an oil change sitting beside the bike instead of grovelling bout on the deck.
