abstract="We propose an application of robotics technology to the motion analysis of motorcycles. This paper presents the experimental results for an electric motorcycle model equipped with the DCT mechanism (DCT: Damping unit, Counter-steering angle, and Temporary input), and also shows the results of a simulation based on the Sharp* model that includes the rolling resistance of the front tyre, round profile of tyres and centrifugal force. In addition, we propose a measuring system for the rolling angle of motorcycles using a wireless camera. The experimental results of the counter-steering phenomenon coincide with the simulation results, and confirm that the DCT mechanism is very useful equipment for the data sampling of motorcycles.<p />",
