Motorcycle background here as well.
For me, on motorcycles, suspension quality/settings and tyres is most important. On bicycles, bike fit is most important. So, on bicycles, if I have balanced weight front/back and I’m not too stretched out, I don’t care about anything else. Compared to a heavy motorcycle with a passenger in high speed, turning a bicycle around is super easy as long as you’re comfortable.
Sitting too high on a bicycle and having to reach with your arms straight for the handlebars messes things up most, I’d say. No control can be had with such a position, no matter what bike you ride.
