It seems that the most important and basic think about a bike sim has never been captured - and that is basic control. I have tried to control this game with joysticks and wheels and they all feel utterly unrealisic.  With motorbikes you don't turn the steering wheel. The front wheel automatically points in the right direction that the bike is going in unlike a car. All the rider does is to set the lean angle by countersteering and the amount that the front wheel moves is tiny. Lets assume you are using a steering wheel for control - if you are going round a right hand corner you shouldn't really be turning the wheel much and it certainly should not be trying to centre itself. To stop the turn you should turn even more (and have LOTS of resistance) to bring the bike straight again and as the bike leans over to the left then the steering wheel should automatically also turn to the left to balance the bike. If the rider wants to make it turn quicker then he should try to stop the wheel turning and if the rider wants the bike to stop turning he should OPPOSE what the steering wheel is trying to do. Essentially the steering wheel should steer itself! Until we get this basic principle right -with a suitable controller then we're doomed to fail.

Surely Track IR or similar would provide a great way to control the game. You can lean easily and move around on the bike using your head which would be perfectly natural and intuitive as to how much you need to move AND still use it to look around. All you'd then need is throttle, brakes and gears. Surely it's an ideal solution - only problem the game does not seem to  support Track IR as a controller - at the moment.
