          It would be really nice to have some kind of motion control for motorcycle games. Shouldn't be all that tough to simulate steering, accelerating and braking motions with a decent handlebar-shaped controller.

          The only real concern, though, is how would it be possible to simulate a rider's shifting body weight on the lean. This wouldn't be a big deal if the game is meant to simulate riding a chopper, but most motorcycles games are based on riding sportbikes.

                      Kinect might be able to handle that.

                          Pretty sure Driver for Wii let you use the Wiimote and Nunchuck like handle bars for motion control.
