It’s definitely not the best in hindsight. It’s kinda a “skill”.

Not sure your example is the best. Motorcycles can weight up to 1000lbs. There’s a technique where you lift with your legs that doesn’t require upper body strength, but if you don’t know it, it’s quite a struggle.
I’ve helped/been helped when I or others dropped a bike, and the help probably prevented a strain injury.
Anyone who can lift a bike is either smart, strong, or both, and has my respect.

+1 to that – when I was a kid, I saw a cop drop his bike while trying to park it on the kickstand. He couldn’t lift it back up (at least, within the 30 seconds I was gawking), and he looked fairly strong…
