A2Difficulty 3/5

When a two-wheeled motorcycle takes a bend, how should the rear-seat passenger follow the rider’s lean?

Correct answer

The same position and lean as the rider

Follow the rider’s lean rather than leaning against it or independently anticipating the rider’s movements. Keep feet on the footrests and use the grab handles or appropriate hold. The rider must adapt speed and keep a safe line within the available space; carrying a passenger does not require widening every bend or always starting the turn earlier. Follow the manufacturer’s load limits and adjustments.
