Dezmo is right
it's the law of conservation of angular momentum. the spinning front wheel has angular momentum. the faster your'e going, the more momentum. when you apply a torque to the bars, the angular momentum equation must be balanced, and the result is a torque that leans the wheel to one side.
and yes, theoretically, if you were going fast enough it would not be possible to apply enough torque to the bars to get the bike to lean..... but at 11ty-billion miles per hour your tires would probably fly apart
