The flip up type are fine in theory but in practice it is too easy to knock the bike and over it goes.
My 748 which I have converted to non-flip up, you just have to remember to flip the stand before you drive off as there's no safety cut out or warning on those fitted with the flip up type. I've never had any issues with it as it is like most bikes of a certain age.
