How does carrying a passenger affect motorcycle handling?

Improves stability
Does not impact handling
Reduces traction
Affects motorcycle handling

The correct answer is: Affects motorcycle handling

Carrying a passenger affects motorcycle handling because the added weight changes the distribution of weight on the motorcycle. This can make the motorcycle feel heavier and less responsive when turning or adjusting speed. It also increases the risk of loss of traction, making it more difficult to control the motorcycle. While carrying a passenger may not have a significant impact on stability, it can definitely affect the handling and control of the motorcycle.
