Again, I will stipulate that you can indeed start a turn with a

corner both street and mx, you are not countersteering...


Yes you are, every correction within the turn is accomplished that way.

Leaning by itself is nowhere near effective or fast enough. I've never
seen a rider violently throwing his torso left and right to avoid a
slight handlebar adjustment. (*perhaps* as a last resort in a long rut/berm)

You position your weight on the bike for the best *average* center of
mass for the turn which changes more slowly.

Hey, maybe you should design a custom bike without handle-bars, think of
the weight savings and lower COG.
