For higher-speed turns, what is the recommended body position?

For higher-speed turns, the recommended body position is to lean more than you would at low speed. This technique helps maintain stability and control of the motorcycle. When you lean into a turn, you are effectively shifting your center of gravity, which helps balance the forces acting on the bike during a turn. At higher speeds, the centrifugal force increases, so leaning more allows the motorcycle to navigate the turn without losing traction or tipping over.

Leaning optimally also enhances the bike's cornering ability, making it easier to adjust your line if needed. This body position allows for better weight distribution, reducing the chances of skidding or losing control while maintaining the necessary speed throughout the turn. This technique is essential for safe and effective cornering at higher speeds, enabling riders to navigate curves with confidence.
