This Has Got To Be The Coolest Motorcycle Racing Simulator Around
An excellent addition to anyone's game room
We keep saying that today’s modern sportbikes are becoming more and more like computers with wheels, with all of their sophisticated electronics. Well, if you’re Asia Road Racing competitor Galang Hendra, your motorcycle is a computer! Here he is, piloting a simulator for practice, but man, it sure appears awfully realistic. Lean angles correspond to the track he’s riding, as do throttle and shift inputs.
There are some days when we just can’t get out for a ride and while, yes, there’s nothing like actually riding a motorcycle, this looks like the next best thing. If you’re a gamer, a rider, and have some space in a spare room, adding a setup like this would make an awesome addition to anyone’s (wo)man cave. Check it out below.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.

Doesn't look like a simulator.
With right fast acting pneumatic actuators, you could even highside the rider =)
