My "magical" ride was covering the 405 to the 5 to the 14. A set of highways that don't really have "twisties" that any "real" rider would mention. (Well, maybe when you factor in velocity...) And I had a passenger which increased the sprung mass of the bike effectively adding more inertia to resist motion from suspension input. (The bike isn't nearly as smooth with just me on it)

So, if I can get that benefit out of the emulators at my piddly skill level, I can't imagine how well the real thing will work.

Next time you need to go up to the Antelope valley on the 14 freeway. Take the Sierra Highway exit right after you get through the Newhall pass and Sierra Highway has some good twisties all the way into the Antelope Valley.
