Motorcycles are stable so they tend to want to go straight. During a long turn, the bike will want to stand up and reduce the radius of curvature that it's on with no change in throttle input. If you think I'm wrong then please show me concrete evidence to the contrary if you have it. "
You're off-base here Samer. You very well may have ridden bikes that stand up in a turn, and some of us poor saps have ridden bikes that want to instead fall into a turn once leaned over. But ones with proper geometry, proper tires, with proper pressure, tend to hold lean angle once set with very little, if any, pressure on the bars. Will look for pics to show this in a moment...
