Actually there is no need to consider mass into account when body rotates in circular path because when it rotates in circular path the concentration of mass is at the centre of the rotating body. Only tangential force is come into account.

When vehicle moves in a circular path, a gyroscopic effect comes into action on the vehicle which try to make inner side of wheels up and try to rotate the car. But the gyroscopic effect depends upon speed of vehicle so the inclination will also depends upon the speed of vehicle.

Angle of inclination of vehicle increases if speed increases and decreases if speed decreases. So it depends on the speed of vehicle not mass.

Angle of inclination also called as angle of banking which is given by θ- = tanθ-^(-1)/(v^2/rg) which shows that angle of banking is independent of mass.

Don't complicate,
Imagine your driving a bike in circular path.
Now imagine your driving a cycle in circular path.
The mass of bike is more than mass of cycle but both of them incline in certain angle.

Because it depends on velocity, not on mass.

For the vehicle to be in equilibrium overturning couple should be equal to balancing couple acting in clockwise direction due to weight of vehicle and rider.
So its depends on mass.
So its depends on mass.
