From September 1996, motorcycle training schools have been required to introduce training to predict danger scenes in mixed traffic by using a motorcycle riding simulator. In order to obtain a high educational effect, it is necessary to reproduce the riding sense such as banking sense and pitching sense. Sensory evaluation was made on the said riding sense by using a simulator which has five degrees of freedom of roll, yaw, pitch, vertical direction and steer. The evaluation disclosed that the rotation center of roll and pitch largely influenced the banking sense and the pitching sense. The behavior of the newly developed simulator is controlled by three degrees of freedom of roll, pitch and steer, keeping simulator riding sense to the simulator with four degrees of freedom.
