I had thought of something similar, but a little more wacky. Instead of motorcycle, more like a tricycle. The electronics are housed ina thin tall and long box. sticking out the front is a wheel on a servo that can rotate. on the back are two powered wheels sticking out at an angle (about 15 degrees) on the end of pistons. When the tricycle speeds around a turn, the inside piston retracts so the tricycle 'banks' through the turn. Someone later pointed out to me that i wont even need the right piston because we'll only be turning left :-)
