counter steer is basics ? .......Have you tried countersteer on our roads?

Read my post on counter-steering again. It's not a case of someone deciding that he is going to counter-steer today. Each and every rider does this. Basic laws of gyroscopic and centrifugal force dictate that this is needed to maneuver a bike once above a certain speed. It's simply a case of understanding what is happening.
Their are a thousand articles that explain it in far more detail that I have, and it would only be beneficial if people read them and learn. Here's a start:

how above leaning into the curve , braking and downshift to be done before entering the curve and little pressure on the outside foor peg you will find the tyres dig more into the tarmac. should we be taking these ?

Again, on a superbike, you will need to lean into a curve if you plan on maintaining even the lowest of speed limits on public roads. By not talking about it or making it out to be some sort of super advanced theory, you are simply planting fear into the mind of the novice rider.
These are things that should actually come automatically. Just by riding and getting a feel of when and where the bike is most comfortable. We then perfect it by learning exactly what goes into this and once we understand, we know where we have to improve ourselves.
Also, this article is about buying and living with a superbike. I would hope that a person about to purchase an expensive, powerful and very fast motorcycle would indeed know a bit about riding. If not, then maybe what's posted here will make the person want to learn more.
