best way for a passenger to ride a sportbike?

Yeh leaning in any way is bad, throws you off balance. It leads to you having to steer the bike and steer against the inputs the other person is giving you

Good point about leaning w/ the bike vs. rider - essentially staying centered over the seat. The real problems come in with someone unfamiliar with riding that tries to 'counter' lean and stay upright as you lean into a corner - that can make for some very unsettling motion!
