The support plane (5) is then associated to a device (2) that allows its lifting/lowering from ground for example by a hydraulic cylinder. The apparatus (1) is, furthermore, equipped with a support structure (10) integral to the support plane (5), having a pin (15) for engaging with a point (25) of the frame of the motorcycle (20) arranged near the handlebar. In this way, the motorcycle (20) is held by the apparatus (1) at the handlebar (28) and at another point, for example the central part of the frame, which rests on a removable support (36), for example a special jack, or on the stand (26) of the motorcycle same. The support structure (10) comprises a first upright (11a) and a second upright (11b) connected to the support plane (5) at opposite sides. Between the uprights (11a) and (11b) a cross member (16) is arranged adapted to rotate with respect to them about an axis of rotation (40). The pin (15) is then connected to the cross member (16) by a rod (12) adapted to translate orthogonally to the cross member (16). The pin (15) provided at the end of the rod (12) is put into a special hole made don the short tube of the handlebar of the motorcycle -
