It's not that hard to pick up a bike if you know how. I recently came off and squashed my foot in the process and could only just walk immediately after but still didn't have too many problems picking the bike up (adrenalin is a wonderful thing - use it before it's gone if you've come off and aren't badly hurt)

You ZZR probably weighs about 150kg. Given the weight distribution and leverage, you're only going to have to lift the equivalent of 60-70kg for the first foot, and it gets alot easier from there. Give the bike one almighty tug, and try and hold it at about a 50-60 degree angle to avoid overbalancing it, then slowly raise it enough to put the stand down. Regain your composure quickly and park up somewhere to cool it until you're calm.
