When turning at high speed, you should

1. counterbalance.
2. countersteer. ✓
3. balance your body in the middle of your seat.
4. All of the above

Answer: B. countersteer.

At high speed, you should countersteer: push the handlebar on the side you want to turn toward so the motorcycle leans into the curve.

Why this is the answer

The handbook separates slow-speed steering from higher-speed steering. At speeds over 10 km/h, the motorcycle must lean to turn, and you create that lean by countersteering. To go left, you gently push the left handlebar; the bike leans left and turns left. At medium or high speed, the rider and the motorcycle should lean into the curve at the same angle. Counterbalancing is described for slow turns, not high-speed turns.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. counterbalance. — Counterbalancing is the slow-speed technique where you keep your body upright while the motorcycle leans, so it does not describe high-speed turning.
• C. balance your body in the middle of your seat. — Keeping your body balanced in the middle of your seat is not what the handbook says for medium or high speed; it says the rider and motorcycle lean into the curve at the same angle.
• D. All of the above — Not all of these apply, because counterbalancing belongs to slow turns and sitting upright in the middle of the seat is not the high-speed rule.

Remember it

When the bike feels steady above walking speed, push the handlebar on the side you want to go.
