Video shot and produced by Ian J. from www.ninja250.com. He is a very smart guy, and this is a excellent video.

I was wrong in what I thought counter-steering was. Thanks for the video.

That video did what three books and an MSF course couldn't do as well. Excellent find! Something I just learned is that countersteering initiates the turn, but you don't hold it throughout the turn, although I could swear that's what I do on a high-speed, moderate curve. As the video said, that's when it becomes almost imperceptible.

Good video. In short, in order to go left, first push left (on the left grip). You'll wind up leaning left as a matter of course. This is much faster than just leaning left, which incidentally puts pressure on the left bar anyway. For the techno-nerds, you may want to do some study on gyroscopic precession. For the rest of us, just push in the direction you want to go. Thanks for the find.

Excellent Video.

I learnt round a small banked track, I think this made it easier.
