Damn right it won't keep you off your virtual ass!
You can't get away with sloppy driving on the bikes, like you can with the cars on GT! If you do go off the track you have to treat the controller like you treat a bike on grass or gravel i.e. very gently, and ease yourself back onto the tarmac.
Remember one of the GT license lessons where it warns you that the track before the first corner of Grand Valley East has a bump in it and it will make the car veer left? Well, that undulation is still there and its a whole lot of fun trying to slow down from 166 mph on the CBR600 (not)
Having said that, don't let it put you off, it is addictive!
It is a shame that there is no clutch control on the bikes, unless I have missed something? I think I have it in standard (i.e. beginner) mode still though
