Hi, does anybody make handle bars for motorbike games on PS3 or PS4 or PC ?.

Not from what I'm aware of. Mainly because it would be so extremely difficult to simulate. The rider's body plays a big part in riding, the handlebars of the sim equipment would need to take into account lean angle and steering input. And riding is usually done mostly through feel, and that feel would be lost more so than with a gaming steering wheel. Though it is possible to do, it would still be sort of ridiculous.
The only way I could see it working was with something similar to those motorbike arcade games that have a full size plastic motorbike, though by that point you could just buy a real motorbike, so why would you?
Apart from low speed maneuvers such as parking or a turn in the road, you don't turn the handle bars to turn a bike - you apply pressure in the opposite direction to the turn, but the bars do not turn in any real sense - so I'm not sure what a handlebar controller would bring to the table - other than be even less immersive than using a standard controller.Hi, does anybody make handle bars for motorbike games on PS3 or PS4 or PC ?.

Big time necro, but anyone in 2018 doing a Google search for handlebar controllers for PS4 Ride 2 (and hopefully the upcoming Isle Of Man TT game) on the PS4, yes you can use them. Get a Game Elements Yamaha MS-1 handlebar controller for the PS2 and a Brook Game Controller Super Converter (PS2 to PS3/PS4). Here's a quick video I just made. I'll record it again with better lighting and audio. It was $30 for the Brook Converter (Amazon) and the MS-1 was $15 (eBay, but most are about $30-$45).
***Update: the handlebars work great with Isle Of Man TT: Ride on the Edge on the PS4. I think it will also work on any bike game that allows you to assign buttons/controls.***
