It depends.
As we know for a vehicle in a circular path, a centripetal force acts to which it tends to lean outward making an angle of contact with the road.
But this centripetal force resulting in load transfer, acts on the center of mass height (not just centre of mass) , therefore resulting in different lean angles for vehicles with the same height and different loads (mass).

Here, Tan θ = v>2/gr.

Because the mass of the vehicle remains constant, it depends upon the velocity of the vehicle as velocity can be changed.

It only depends on whether you are normal driving or on race riding.

Since it is a vehicle on the ground there must be a consideration on frictional force. Due to that mass come into play by adding normal force to the surface. And due to centrifugal force (never mentioned in free space) that friction pushes away the body. So that the vehicle tend to get inclined and depends on mass certainly.

Only if the speed is relatively high at its peak the mass will be negligible.

What is centrifugal force? Explain please.
