For just a short while lol, it will fall over pretty quickly.
Depends; actually there's been some pretty interesting stuff done in the physics world regarding the understanding of how two wheelers derive stability, and some Uni folks figured out how to build a bike with zero trail and no gyroscopic inertia/angular momentum that will still be stable and self steer. No, it's not a computer-controlled, tandem-wheel Segway thing, it turns out where the center of mass is is the crux, and for real-world bikes how that interacts with the geometry and wheel gyro effects determines the end result of stability or instability, and how the bike acts when leaned over.
Who knows; just maybe some of the folks @ Ducati MotoGP HQ could do with some remedial reading. Or have done, considering all the tinkering they've been doing of late with weight distribution...
