It's called Counter Steering.
At low speed, more steering input is needed. As you speed up, the required input is reduced until you actually need to turn the bars very very slightly in the opposite direction of the direction you want to go.
The amount of counter steer & the point at which you need to apply it varies from bike to bike.
Most of us to it wothout even realising it anyway. I had a dramatic intro to counter sttering on my first fast bike (Jota, the five barred gate of the bike world lol). Flying up a dual carraigeway at about 100mph. I decided to realy attack the long sweeping left hand bend up ahead. I was on the inside lane & gave the bars a good tug to the left..... To my surprise & horror, the bike turned right quite sharply, shot across the outside lane, came close to ramming the Armco barrier at 90mph. Taught me a huge lesson.
