It's very visible and pronounced on heavier bikes, like motorcycles. Especially if you try riding a very heavy cruiser bike -- you'll immediately notice that countersteering is the only way to turn it. No matter how you try to lean it, it won't respond and will just go straight, but it'll respond very easly to handlebar inputs.
