Almost all of them saw the front wheel back and forth in an exaggerated manner when they are riding at slow speeds and trying to make a turn. Let's also not forget that a "slow" speed on a motorcycle is a good brisk speed on a bicycle.

Now if supremekizzle is trying to steer like he does on a motorcycle, he is exaggerating the countersteer movement and this will result in a lag in the steering. He only needs to move the bars a tiny bit in the opposite direction of the corner but he is probably moving the front wheel several inches away from the corner and then making the turn so, of course, the steering will seem slow.

Countersteering on a bicycle is so tiny and subtle that most of us don't even notice it which is why many people don't know what countersteer is.
