How would you describe the upper body position during a swerve on a straight road?

Leaning forward
Leaning to the side
Sitting back
Upright

The correct answer is: Upright

During a swerve on a straight road, maintaining an upright body position is crucial for stability and control of the motorcycle. Leaning forward, to the side, or sitting back can all disrupt the balance of the motorcycle and make it more challenging to navigate the swerve safely. By staying upright, the rider can effectively countersteer and maneuver the motorcycle smoothly through the swerve, allowing for better control and reducing the risk of potential loss of control.
