Yes. Good question. The motorcyclist was slightly to the right of the center of his lane, i.e. slightly closer to the curb. That meant I had to turn my head a bit more to my left to see him. But that honestly was not the biggest issue. His overall visibility was the main problem and it was due to natural conditions mostly, namely, the angle of the sun basically overpowering his headlight and causing him to fade into the background.
