A lever-action vehicle lift for lifting a from the ground surface. The lift frame defines a vehicle contacting section and a fulcrum section for rotatably supporting the lever frame when the latter is pivoted about the ground surface. A spacing section is solidly attached between the vehicle contacting section and the fulcrum section for maintaining the vehicle contacting section and the fulcrum section in a first predetermined spaced relationship relative to each other. The vehicle contacting section and the fulcrum section are positioned in a common geometrical plane. A lever handle is pivotally attached to the lever frame by a handle pivotal connection so as to allow the lever handle to pivot about a lever pivoting axis extending in the common geometrical plane. The lever frame and the lever handle are configured and sized such that when the lever is in a raising configuration with both a handle ground contacting section and the fulcrum section contacting the ground surface, the common geometrical plane forms an acute angle relative to the ground surface such that the vehicle contacting section is located intermediate and above both the fulcrum section and the handle ground contacting section at a raised distance from the ground surface. The vehicle contacting section is given various configurations for accommodating various motorcycle frame configurations. A handle releasable locking mechanism is also provided for selectively locking the lever handle in a predetermined angular relationship relative to the lever frame.
