Abstract:
1. A braking device for a motorcycle in which hydraulic pressure supplied to a wheel braking means at the rear wheel is adjusted according to hydraulic pressure at the front wheel produced by a brake operation at the front wheel, wherein: a first pressure sensor senses hydraulic pressure at the front wheel produced by a brake operation at the front wheel; a second pressure sensor senses hydraulic pressure supplied to a wheel braking means at the front wheel; a third pressure sensor senses hydraulic pressure supplied to a wheel braking means at the rear wheel; a controller effects control of a hydraulic modulator that determines the value of hydraulic pressure at the rear wheel, based upon (1) pressure sensed by the first and third pressure sensors and (2) a hydraulic pressure map selected from hydraulic pressure maps stored in the controller; and wherein
