Italian term or phrase: manichino di moto
A blog post discussing the quality of a motorbike jacket:

Io la prenderei a occhi chiusi, ma solo dopo averla provata bene bene, ovvero andrei in un negozio, la indosserei e mi siederei su un manichino di moto per sentire come calza.

I assume it is a fake motorbike where you can try gear in the shop and see how it fits.

Thank you !

Explanation:
Hi Maria Emanuela - yes, you're right. I think dummy sounds better than fake though. Another alternative would be model motorbike....HTH
