I passed the course, bought a motorcycle and took it up and down twisting mountain roads with little experience. His instructions were absolutely correct. A bike won't turn unless you're pushing on one side of the bars. Otherwise it will go in a straight line. At very low speeds, the steering is normal - turn the bars right to turn right.
The techniques for riding motorcycles and bicycles are not identical, largely because rider weight is dominant when riding a bicycle, but cycle weight is dominant when riding a motorcycle.
