This is a normal post I think the physics of motorbikes and bicycles differ quite a lot in some key areas....

This is a normal post Yes, on a motorcycle it's not steering so much as a controlled fall*.
*beyond walking pace.

This is a normal post Aside from the obvious differences
Such as the effect on suspension from the chain tension and the lower centre of gravity on motorbikes, I'm not sure if there really are that many differences - particularly the physics of getting the bike into a turn and what keeps it stable during a turn are pretty much the same as far as I can see. When riding without hands, I find that steering a bicycle and motorbike are very similar other than bicycles requiring rather less effort.
