Motorcycles must be leand in to turn. This lean is included by a method known as countersteering, and in which the rider turns the handlebars in the direction opposite of the desired direction of turn. In other words, press forward on the handgrip in the desired direction--press right to go right, press left to go left. This concept is counterintuive and often very confusing to new and even many experienced motor cyclists.
Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics is a branch of classical mechanics, which in turn is a branch of physics. Bicycles and motorcycles are both single-track vehiclesand so their motions have many fundamental attributes in common.Bike motions of interest include balancing,steering,braking, suspensionactivation, and vibration.
