So I guess you are saying that the reason that stable lean angles are rare on the street is because of the way the streets are designed?
Race tracks must be designed with constant radius turns, or some other formula.
Road design has an affect, but so does a lot of other factors. BTW, not all turns on all racetracks have constant radii. Not that it matters to the rider one way or another.

Where is my apology?
I did not think that all turns were constant radii either.
You got my apology, You responded to it rudely but you know which post contains it.
Since there are so many quotes, I'll quote the Doobies;
"You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon, the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Takin' it to the streets"
The reason we cannot find a stable lean angle is because people naturally are afraid of leaning their motorcycles. Fear of leaning is part of the problem. Plus our bikes will not allow it. For instance the lean angle of my bike is 25°.
There are studies that suggest most individuals have a natural inhibition to lean angles over (approximately) 20 degrees. This is due to routine activities experienced by individuals, as well as examples found in nature. The good news is that we can train ourselves to exceed this routine limiting factor.

Again... it is not that simple. What is your problem? You keep looking for a straightforward answer to a very complex question. None of which has anything to do with counter-steering and how it works.

I did not say it was that simple or mean to imply it. I think they are related.
