Danny Colyer le opined the following...
I never used to notice it, but now I often notice myself starting a turn
by countersteering. For some reason it's much more noticeable on the
Street Machine that it used to be on my ATB. Perhaps it's more
necessary on a bent than on a wedgie.

I think that the steering is so much more positive on a bent than an
upright, that combined with the inability to throw your weight around
the counter-steer becomes more necessary, or more obvious.
