Best Controller for Superbikes?

Just got the sim 3 hours ago, and I like what I see so far, I understand
from the manual that the keyboard is a no-no, and I only have an Expensive
Thrustmaster F22 joystick/throttle/rudder combo, I dont want to ruin this
with constant abuse that this kind sim requires to control.

I am willing to buy another controller just for this sim and any other
racing sims I buy in future.

Would be glad to hear some recommendations.

Check in to the Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro I think they call it.  My
buddy has it and its a blast with MotoRacer.

A good steering wheel works nice

TM GP1 wheel with analog paddles for gas,brake works well.If you can
find it for $15-20,it's worth it.

I have only played the demo but I've played it one hell of a lot and as far
as I am concerned you cant beat the Gravis Exterminator.

I have it set up to use the Analog joystick for left/right.
Analog flippers for accelerate/brake.
Shoulder buttons for Gear up/down
And the other buttons set for sit up etc.

Works great
