Claim 5:
6. A control method for controlling travel of a straddle-type vehicle (100), the control method comprising,
during cruise control in which acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle (100) is automatically controlled, via a controller, without relying on an accelerating/decelerating operation by a driver:
restricting, via the controller, a vehicle speed of the straddle-type vehicle (100) to be equal to or lower than an upper limit speed at the time of turning;
detecting, via the controller, an exit of a curved road on the basis of an index value (dyTraj) corresponding to a distance between a point (P), which is away from the straddle-type vehicle (100) in an advancing direction (X) by a reference distance (D), and a predicted trajectory (R) in a direction orthogonal to the advancing direction (X), wherein the predicted trajectory (R) is detected by a front monitoring sensor (41) that detects information of an area in front of the straddle-type vehicle (100); and
reducing, via the controller, a magnitude of deceleration of the decelerated straddle-type vehicle (100) by a controller (60) at a time point before the straddle-type vehicle (100) reaches the exit.
