In what situation does the wind imply a greater risk for riding a motorcycle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Motorcycles, due to their lower weight and lateral surface area, are extremely sensitive to the force of the wind. The greatest risk occurs when the wind blows from the side or crosswise. Strong lateral gusts can cause sudden and involuntary displacements of the vehicle. This can result in running off the road or a dangerous invasion of the opposite lane.
