I've seen, and almost purchased, motorcycle lifts for over $300 that paled in comparison to the OTC 1545 Stinger. Able to lift and hold up to 1,500 pounds, finding a lift of equal quality and capacity for around $200 will leave you enough cash to invest in other tools and accessories.
The Stinger uses dual 17-inch skids and will lift your machine from just over 3 inches to nearly 17 inches. You will have full access to your bike for repairs by removing the long, leverage-providing handle once you've got as much lift as you like.
For a lift, the Stinger is surprisingly feature-packed with a foot pedal release, locking casters, a safety lock, and two ratcheting tie-down straps included. At 74 pounds, the largest drawback of this lift is its heft. This is not an easily portable device, but if it will reside only in your garage, you shouldn't have any worries.
The durability of the Stinger is equal to that of professional shop lifts. And OTC also includes a 2-year warranty. Within those first two years I doubt any amount of abuse you subject the Stinger to will result in a need for repair or replacement. This jack is even recommended for long-term storage to prevent tire damage. The Stinger will be an excellent start or addition to your workshop.
Another handy garage tool is the Moto-Slide Rear Wheel Dolly.
