I used to ride an old bike with no electronics (a Honda 400&#x2F;four). It does drift but you can feel that and control it with countersteering in good weather conditions (in bad weather conditions I would cut speed significantly or just not ride).<p>You can still lean an all-mechanical bike with ordinary tires quite a ways. When I would be turning through very long curves on freeways and so I would get back fatigue from the fake force (the one that&#x27;s trying to make the bike stand up vertically again), requiring me to sit on the upper side of the bike to keep it leaned over with less effort. I have a very slim build so this is a trick that might not be familiar to most male riders.
