Just one timy problem; it steers backwards . . .
Timmy!
Looks like a good training tool for beginners.
Counter Steering requires intuitive retraining
Training on this thing can set up exactly the
wrong muscle memory
Funny they did such a poor job with the handling model. Honda engineers use this in development:

It’s been used in lots of simulators and comes from the good ole USA.
Next time yer on two wheels, notice which hand pushes and which pulls going around a highway curve. You'll be surprised.
I use the game Burnout Paradise as my driving trainer.

Why do this? So one can sit on one's frozen throttle hand to get the blood flowing enough to stave off frostbite. Switch hands sort-of regularly. But don't rely on this technique in heavy traffic.
The other responders this thread are correct --- when you push on the handlebars on one side, or pull on the other, a bike will lean into a turn, opposite the direction the front forks are turned. Push, or conversely yank rapidly or hard, and the bike will *very* rapidly be thrown into a turn. The tough part is recovering, and yanking the bike the OTHER way, under full control, for this also entails shifting ones body weight up (away from the turn one is presently in) and getting it to the high side quickly. All this action is why high-speed motorcycle track racing is something of an athletic event. The best bike racers usually fairly young men, and weigh less than 175 lbs.
Racing should be only be done on closed circuit courses, or course. Unless one just loves road rash, broken bones, and/or death.
