Motorcycles and bikes are not exactly the same in this respect. You can steer a bicycle without counter steer by shifting your weight to the left and right. Its possible to go around corners without touching the handlebars like this.

The fact that you can’t really make a motorcycle move by shifting your weight is probably why it is so important to teach countersteer- so people know what do to when they need to swerve quickly. Another counterinuitive thing (for me) is that motorcycle steering gets much heavier at high speed while bicycle steering is virtually effortless at most normal bicycle speeds.
