Means for operating a motorcycle, system and method for operating a motorcycle

A means for operating a motorcycle, comprising:

• a steering device with a first and a second grip element;
• a sensor system for detecting a riding situation, which sensor system comprises a grip sensor which is arranged in or on one of the grip elements and which is designed to, in an operating state of the means, detect external contact on the respective grip element by a rider of the motorcycle and generate an associated grip measurement signal;
• a seat surface sensor which is assigned to a seat surface of the motorcycle and which is designed to, in the operating state of the means, detect a mass distribution of the rider on the seat surface and generate an associated seat measurement signal;
• and
• a steering actuator which is coupled to the steering device for the purposes of setting a steering angle with respect to a steering axis,
• wherein when the associated grip measurement signal indicates that the sensor system does not detect the external contact on the respective grip element by the rider, the steering actuator is activated to control the steering angle according to the associated seat measurement signal, such that the steering actuator steers the motorcycle according to the mass distribution of the rider on the seat surface.
