You cannot ride a motorbike without counter steering, it's how they work, being 'experienced' has nothing to do with it.

"Experienced" means having trained to the point of intrinsically understanding the operation of the machine. Inexperience can lead to doing the wrong thing, like not counter steering, in an emergency situation, such as this one: https://youtu.be/VVE79XT8-Mg Warning: The rider in this video survived, thanks in large part to running into a vehicle with EMS personnel.

Let me put this to you, would you argue with the statement: Not counter steering - the mark of the inexperienced motorcycle rider?

Correct. And I'll add that it is an intrinsic property of the bicycle.
