The development of a motorcycle driver for virtual prototyping applications is discussed. The driver is delivered with a commercial multibody code as a tool for performing closed-loop maneuvers with virtual motorcycle models. The closed-loop controller is developed with a qualitative analysis of how a human rider controls a motorcycle. The analysis concerns handling and maneuverability, which are relevant for real and virtual vehicle performance evaluation. A motorcycle model for control design and a controller structure are developed. The model is based on a mathematical representation of common-sense rules of motorcycle riding. The virtual rider is then tested in various operating conditions to assess whether the control requirements are achieved. Criteria for evaluating driver models are briefly discussed
