I am aware of the existing thread for the PrincessAuto (and Harbor Freight) hydraulic lifts; I'm looking for a plain metal workbench without any air/hydraulic parts as displayed below:

Both benches are collapsible for easy storage but are only available in the UK.

I've seen some on garagejournal.com that were made out of wood, with a ramp (obviously) at one end, a wheel chock at the other and a winch for an atv was used to pull the bike up on the bench.
 
There is a PA snowmobile lift that uses a crank to lift it up... You can easily attach an electric or air impact gun to use instead of the crank.

The frame is level, it would be very easy to make a top for it, add a wheel chock and you are set!
 
My concern is storage space so a simple table top with legs that fold is ideal.

This one? It would get the job done but the bike would have to be perfectly centered..

Yep, that's the one. Your wood decking on the top can over lap the frame work, just place the bike on in the same direction as you would a sled.

I work on my sled on the stand... The sled is heavier than most bikes and I trust the stand enough to be under neath it working on suspension and drive train parts. It's pretty stable even with all that mass hanging all over the place.

FYI, if you go this route, Royal also has a similar stand... However, the quality of it is crap compared to the PA one (hard to believe). The one from Royal is flimsy compared to the one I have.
