It was a little chunky on my P200MMX/32mg/3Dfx system.
Decent looking though.
If the frame rate was better, it'd probably be the best superbike sim out
there.
I imagine a 233/266mHz would do it.

I don't think the title is already out, but you can find a demo of it at
most of the popular *** sites on the Internet. Very good it is.

Yes it's the first Motorcycle simulator on the market.  We don't know much
about the product (Interactive is not speaking, and thinks they can sell a
product by doing this <g>).  But from the demo it's simulator. I think the
tracks are unreal also. Maybe check out Interactive's website.

I tried the demo, graphics were very good, sounds good, but overall it's no
sim. Bikes lean and move very realisticly but are too easy to ride. unlike
real bikes these bikes willl forgive almost every mistake the rider makes.
Bottom line is it's a fun arcade game, but if your looking for a sim stick
with the car games.

Maybe it's just in the easiest mode for the demo? It sure would be
exciting if someone *would* attempt to create a real twitchy and
difficult moto sim!
