Is counter steering now the norm? While in the military I had to attend "motorcycle defensive driving course" once every three years. Everytime the course instructor taught counter steering as an evasive maneuver to avoid objects in the road, i.e. critters, stuff falling off vehicles in front of you, stuff like that. Re-evaluate your techniques and practice.
For standard corners you will "push" (among other things) the handlebars in the direction you want to go. That still uses counter steering, but you lean with the bike this time.
I'm interested to know how you turn your bike without counter steering; I assume they just called it something different.

Hell I've got enough sense to know that my 14 cant out perform an R6 in the twisties and really dont care. But I do know that Harleys corner like crap next to even a sport touring bike. You just have to be careful on 900 pounds of steel. Yeah they will corner, but that's not what i would call good at cornering. Keep pushing it and you will see!
