that really is all you can do. don't lean too far forward though or
you just stand up. the bike goes faster when you lean forward. when
you catch the plane wait for the barrels to roll off the ramp before
entry

Start leaning forward. Stay to the right so you don't have to steer around
anything.

Wait until you are more or less level with the ramp, then sweep in to the
left.

If it is the PC version I saw a post that said you might have to turn the
frame limiter off in advanced graphics options and turn draw distance to
minimum.

tap the relevant key very quickly (up arrow in my setup).

Here's how I did it with just normal acceleration: If you fail the
mission, notice the spot where the plane ends up taking off. The next
time you do the mission, don't chase the plane, but drive to the spot
where the plane is -going to be- (which is, indeed, passing the agents
on their right)

You'll just make it.
