I've been riding for a few months now and getting quite comfortable with my bike. Since before starting, I tried to get as much info about riding, including counter-steering, and been applying this immediately for most of the turns (e.g. mountain turns).
Now I've been speaking with my girlfriend (who has been riding for 5 years), and she mostly turns using body weight and leaning. She tries to use her handle bars as little as possible, and counter-steers only if necessary (to avoid a car or an object).
Now has started the debate about which way is better. I guess we both do some kind of mix of both. Is there really a better way to do it? What's your way of turning? #motorcycles source
