Yes, if you are experienced in riding a bicycle, counter steering on a motorcycle is likely to come more naturally to you. Counter steering is the technique used to initiate turns on a motorcycle, and it involves briefly steering in the opposite direction of the desired turn before leaning into the turn.
While the physics behind counter steering can be a bit counterintuitive, many experienced cyclists instinctively use this technique without being aware of it. When you ride a bicycle, especially at higher speeds, you might have noticed that to initiate a turn to the right, you briefly and subtly steer the handlebars to the left before leaning into the turn. This slight steering input causes the bike to lean and initiates the turn.
The same principle applies to motorcycles. By applying a brief and deliberate steering input in the opposite direction of the intended turn, you create a lean angle, which helps the motorcycle initiate the turn smoothly. Once the bike is leaned over, you then steer in the direction of the turn to maintain and control the turn.
So, while your experience with bicycling may give you a head start in understanding and applying counter steering, it's still essential to familiarize yourself with the specific dynamics and controls of a motorcycle and practice proper riding techniques. Taking a motorcycle safety course or seeking guidance from an experienced rider can be beneficial to develop your motorcycle riding skills effectively.
