Riding simulation system of motorcycle

A motorcycle system to be ridden on by a person, comprising:

• (a) a base and a moveable carriage mounted on said base;
• (b) driving means for driving said moveable carriage to move in a desirable direction;
• (c) a model motorcycle having model controls, on which a person can ride and which can be operated by the person, said model motorcycle being mounted on said moveable carriage;
• (d) a display unit provided in front of said model motorcycle, said display unit displaying images corresponding to pre-stored image signals;
• (e) detecting means for sensing operation of the model motorcycle including operation of said model controls by the person;
• (f) control means for controlling said driving means in response to said detecting means to thereby control a rolling movement and a pitching movement of said model motorcycle, said control means controlling the image signal to thereby vary the image displayed by said display unit in response to a simulated running state of said model motorcycle,
• wherein said control means controls said display unit such that a horizon of the image displayed by said display unit is rotated by an angle corresponding to increase of a simulated rolling angle of said model motorcycle in a direction inverse to a rolling direction of said model motorcycle when the person rolls said model motorcycle to increase the rolling angle beyond the predetermined simulated rolling angle range.
