Well, motorcyclist & riding a wanna-be sport bike ('80 Kawasaki 750 cruiser converted to Cafe Racer) I'm completely addicted to playing Tourist Trophy on the PS2. So I managed to screw around a few times while playing the game & got really good at wheelies & stoppies. The game allows you to view your race in highlight photos taken by the PS2. Here are a few shots that turned out really well from the game (saved on to my 4GB USB memory stick):

That's sick.

Didn't they just use the GT4 engine for that game? Replacing cars with bikes, and spending time working on body-metrics?

I've always wanted to play that game, but never had the time.

Yeah, it takes quite a bit to get use to. Especially once you decide to switch to Pro mode. It allows you to have full control over brake bias & traction control is all up to the player. If you over throttle it, it will tend to spin back tire and cause either lowside or highside accidents.

And yes, they primarily used the GT4 engine but there are many more physics involved with transfer of body weight back & forth that can either help or hurt you during a race. It's very close to true sport bike riding.
