Honda to bring simulators to dealerships
Honda is planning to bring simulators to its motorcycle dealerships.
The manufacturer said that it hoped to have one of its riding simulators in every dealership within the next three years.
The simulators can help motorcyclists prepare for emergency situations in a virtual environment before they encounter them on the roads.

Honda said the simulators would provide a significant boost to rider confidence and underlined the company's commitment to improving road safety.
"The system can train novices in basic hand/foot coordination or it can be used by more proficient riders as a learning tool to recognize and deal with hazards on the road," Honda said in a statement.
"The use of a playback facility also lets the rider and instructor see what happened, what went wrong or what they did correctly, therefore improving the educational benefits of the system."
The simulator can also be used to train scooter riders as the controls can easily be switched over.
