They should balance, you know how you can steer a bike no hands by leaning it? Squat and trail in balance give the bike an “on rails” feel.
On a nicely balanced motorcycle it feels like you can almost let go in a turn and the motorbike will hold the line, too much squat and it wants to fall into the turn, to much trail and it feels like you’re fighting the bike to get it to lean.
The tendencies are a lot more noticeable at highway speeds than bicycle speeds, but it’s still noticeable.
