You can steer a light motorcycle by leaning, without touching the handlebars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering#Countersteering_by_weight_shifting

  Sure, and you can steer a heavy slow moving motorcycle by leaning. That's also not what people mean when they say you steer a motorcycle by leaning. Just because you can do it (under some conditions) doesn't mean that's how how steer a motorcycle. Especially since most people are under the impression that you lean into the turn, not out of it. But yeah, hypothetically lower inertia = more ability to steer with weight, obviously.
