So, does anyone know if any of the controller makers are developing a
motorcycle controller with feedback?

Doesn't seem like it would be that difficult and would certainly add to
the immersion.  I tried the Castrol Honda demo with my wheel.  It worked
OK but seemed a little weird.  Also if I remember, it seemed a wheel
required  a little (a lot?) more rotation than is needed with handle
bars to get a bike to change direction.

At the risk of restarting that endless thread about how a bike turns at
speed, it would be nice to have a bar with stiff resistance that allowed
a little opposite nudge to get the bike to heel over.
