[QUOTE=3-Wheeler;377822]I don't see any inherent advantage of a bike with a high CG offering a reduction in lean angle.
QUOTE]
Raising the cg of a motorcycle/ rider reduces the lean angle that is needed for any given lateral acceleration by increasing the radius that the cg moves through as it leans. The higher cg is now displaced laterally more to the inside of the contact patch than the lower cg would be for the same angle.
.
Wide tires also corner less for any given angle because the mass is moving in as you lean but the contact patch is also following it to the inside as well so there is less net offset than with a narrower tire and wheel.
