abstract="This article reports on a study that measured the actual lean angles of unaware riders as they negotiated a highway off ramp. Motorcycles used were classified as &quot;sport,&quot; &quot;tour,&quot; or &quot;cruiser,&quot; based on their basic style and configuration. The authors first define the document physical limits of motorcycle leaning, then define the &quot;willingness limit.&quot; They then report on observations of 97 motorcyclists. The authors found that two of the most aggressive &quot;cruiser&quot; riders and one sportbike rider approached the lean capabilities of their machines. The average lean angle actually exhibited by riders was much lower than the previously reported &quot;willingness limit.&quot; The authors discuss the potential match or mismatch between motorcycles and riding style.<p />",
