Correct answer: You and the bike lean toward the same side.
Answer options
- AThe bike stays upright and does not lean at all
- BYou and the bike lean toward the same side Correct

Why
In an everyday turn, lean with the motorcycle so your body and the bike tilt at the same angle. Staying upright while the bike leans works against it and makes smooth steering harder.
