MOTORCYCLE HANDLEBAR FOR PODIUM WHEELBASES

I've seen past requests for this several years old. I understand that prior to the Podium, it probably wouldn't have worked well. Now that we have a strong wheelbase like the Podium DD2 with a direct drive motor, it makes sense now. It's time to make a MotoGP Motorcyle Handlebar for all the racing games out there. You can even sell a new shifter to go with it.
For safety concerns I would limit the rotation through soft/firmware to about 270 deg.
PLEASE TELL US THAT A MOTORCYCLE HANDLEBAR IS ON YOUR DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP!

For those nay sayers ... yes, I understand the handlebar would not act like a real one. It would only represent lean angle and provide realistic brake and throttle controls BUT it would also provide FFB something missing from motorcycle racing sims/games. So you can continue to use your joystick with hand-eye coordination or you could add this to your rig and get FFB and possibly shakers, motion, etc.
