Abstract: A vehicle body (6) provided with a seat portion (7) and footstools (8) is positioned on a fixed frame (2), which is positioned in a horizontal direction facing opposite a screen (1a) of a display (1), extending in a direction running at a right angle to the screen. In order to provide an operating device for a motorcycle simulation apparatus that provides a realistic feeling of operation, a handlebar (4) is secured on to a mobile frame (3) which is mounted in such a manner that it can slide freely in the left and right direction relative to the fixed frame, and the vehicle body is structured in such a manner that it can be caused to pivot freely in the left and right direction relative to the mobile frame by a pivoting mechanism (10) which includes a supporting shaft (5). The pivoting range of the vehicle body is regulated by a position regulating mechanism (30).
