I can't see how this (http://www.motoring.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3010121&fSectionId=&fSetId=381) will work considering leaning a motorcycle is a key part of turning.

That's funny - I want one for home.
a) As you said no feel for how a bike handles and
b) It's a Honda!

The artical says they developed a full simulator with 3 dimensional graphics and leaning into corners,this is the simplified version.So yes,very Honda - built to a price...

How does one look through the corner towards the vanishing point?
If you push on the left bar what happens? Does the screen tilt left, or does it move the bike to the right like a quad?

What utter bullshit. I learnt more than that thing could ever teach me in 2 hours on my bike, with little danger. Just take it easy, choose a block that only requires left turns, make sure you know how to brake and change gears first. easy.
