The facility is amongst the many motorcycle simulators available all around the world but with several special additional features that makes this facility to be the first of its kind. Five (5) healthy male respondents age of 23 were involved in this pilot testing that required them to ride the motorcycle simulator for a maximum of two hours non-stop.
