Counter counter steering

Also keep in mind: off road bikes have shorter wheelbase, are hundreds of pounds lighter, and the rider position is much higher (easier body leverage over the bike). A typical road bike requires more direct input at the handlebar when you NEED to have the bike move NOW and not when it eventually responds to body lean.

Just the fact that a significant percentage of motorcycle crashes (not involving another vehicle) are the rider loosing control in a curve, or not staying on the road in a curve. Way too many riders don't understand what to do when they HAVE to do something quick and accurate. By the time the rider reacts he is way too deep into danger.
