It varies from bike to bike but generally below about 25 to 40 kmh is pro steer , then counter steering kicks in  and then oddly enough at very high speeds of about 400 plus it reverts back to pro steer

I don't think my 1150 will get there Dux.  :biggrin:

Regardless the speed, on a motorcycle it is always needed to countersteer into turns, as it is the only way to steer a vehicle with 2 wheels inline.

If you try and "pro-steer", the motorcycle will always fall over to the other side. It's just how two-wheelers work.

Yep, trying to steer like a pro is what normally puts me on the ground.

I wonder where that gravel road goes? And that, has usually made all the difference. (Apologies to Mr Frost)

The example of the little bicycle with trailing wheels illustrates that counter-steering is in effect from the slowest speeds. Good video.
