Steering torque is the most important control input
for motorcycle turning; however, some riders believe they can
steer using upper body roll alone. As other investigations have
shown rider roll to be an ineffective for path control, there
is likely a link between rider roll and steering torque in
motorcycles. This paper examines new results, looking at the
relationship between roll and steering. The specific results look
at the connection in two directions. First, results examine how
steering torque is generated due to motorcycle roll. Secondly,
the rider’s roll and yaw response to steering motion is presented.
The results show strong links between motorcycle roll rate and
steering, as well as steering and rider motion. The link between
steering and rider roll implies the rider can generate steering
torque by leaning their upper body. As the generated forces and
motions are non-negligible they need to be investigated further.
This information, is being used to develop a new model of the
rider’s passive impedance. In turn this model can be used to
ensure the stability of motorcycles, regardless of the rider
