Probably the case on most bikes but my Guzzi Lemans doesn't sit on the rear wheel with the front wheel removed (despite how heavy the front wheel is). You have to sit on the far rear of the seat to even start it tilting but I guess this is because it's such a heavy, long (engine/frame) bike with a short swingarm?
Fortunately my headstock stand fits it fine, lifting the front just enough to get the rear wheel just touching the ground so it's not off balance and prone to falling over.
