Why is it that the control of a motorcycle is decreased while entering a turn?

1. Because the motorcycle is decelerating during the entire course of the turn.
2. Because the rider’s position is lower than usual.
3. Correct answer: Because less surface of the tyre maintains contact on the road when the driver leans the motorcycle over.
4. Because it needs to accelerate during the entire course of the turn.

WhyWhen the motorcycle leans in a turn, less of the tire touches the road, so control is harder.
