And do these mean the same?
1)His mother is opposed to his riding a motorcycle.
2)His mother is against his riding a motorcycle.

They mean the same, but they should be
1)His mother is opposed to him riding a motorcycle.
2)His mother is against him riding a motorcycle.
or if you want to use "his"
His mother is opposed to his motorcycle riding.
His mother is against his motorcycle riding.

1. His mother is opposed to him riding a motorcycle.
2. His mother is against him riding a motorcycle.
Sentence #1 is better written. And, the verb usage [& helping verb], "is opposed" is the better choice.

they both are correct and they use different words to say the same things. opposed and against are synonyms, which means that they mean the same thing

Yes, they are correct. Oppose means against; so you're right on.

You have to switch his to him. Both the sentences mean the same thing.
