Interesting. When you learn to ride a motorcycle, you're taught to keep your
head normal to the horizon in turns ... because turning your head with the
bike as you lean into a turn results in disorientation.

How relevant.

Next you want to tell us what you do in a sailboat?

Perhaps pilots would be less prone to disorientation if they kept their heads
normal to the horizon, even in turns (for instrument flight, this would mean
keeping one's head level with the horizon of the attitude indicator).

You really are terrified by the thought of disorientation, aren't you?

I note from in-cockpit videos of aerobatic pilots that they keep their heads
level with the horizon, not level with the aircraft.

Did you bother to note whether or not the manuever was cooridinated or
do you think all aerobatic manuevers are coordinated 100% of the time?
