A device and method for determining a roll angle of a motorcycle are disclosed. The method includes the step of acquiring a rolling rate ({dot over (&#x3bb;)}) of the motorcycle. A first roll angle variable (&#x3bb;) is determined from the rolling rate ({dot over (&#x3bb;)}). At least one vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variable is determined from a velocity (v), a rotational speed ({dot over (&#x3c8;)}), and/or an acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}, &#xff;) of the motorcycle. A second roll angle variable (&#x3bb;) is determined from one or more vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variables. The roll angle (&#x3bb;) is calculated on the basis of the roll angle variables (&#x3bb;, &#x3bb;).
