Correct answer
Side wind, especially gusty wind
Side wind, especially gusts. Its force and changes can destabilise the motorcycle; intensity, exposure and riding conditions determine the risk. There is no ranking guaranteeing that headwind or tailwind is always less dangerous regardless of strength. Moderate speed, keep firm but smooth control and anticipate changes in exposure beside large vehicles or sheltered areas.
