I call BS.
If this were true, there would be a wheel speed where steering would be impossible.
Steering is accomplished in two ways, both of which are available at any speed.
One is by the rudder effect of turning the front wheel. At low speeds this produces little or no roll. Try it in your car. It's the same thing. At high speeds, it produces enough roll that the bike starts riding on the opposite side of the tires, coning it around in a circle.
You can rudder turn or cone at any speed. Rudder turning at elevated speeds initiates coning in the opposite direction. That's all.
Stop talking about gyros. You clearly don't understand them.
Read "Proficient Motorcycling" by David Hough for a complete and simple description of motorcycle handling. It is not mysterious. It is quite simple.
