A motorcycle tire having a rotation direction specified, the motorcycle tire including one or more land portions (5a, 5b) on a center part of the tire occupying 50% of a length of the tire on a tread surface of the tire along a periphery of the tread surface, the one or more land portions (5a, 5b) divided by a plurality of width direction grooves (3a, 3b) extending in a tire width direction and a plurality of circumferential direction grooves (4a, 4b, 14a, 14b) extending in a tire circumferential direction, the center part having an equatorial plane of the tire as a center of the center part, wherein at least one of the land portions is configured such that, in a circumferential cross-section of the tire, wherein H is a maximum height of the land portion in a tire radial direction, and a reference point is set as a point 0.45H apart from an end edge at a kick-out side toward a step-in side on a surface of the land portion in the rotation direction, a relation D≥1.7S is satisfied, where S is a distance from the reference point to the end edge at the kick-out side on the surface of the land portion, and D is a distance to a boundary at the kick-out side, among boundaries, from a foot of a perpendicular line that is a section which passes through the reference point and is perpendicular to a virtual line set as the shortest line connecting a first boundary and a second boundary, the first boundary being between one side wall of the land portion at the kick-out side and a bottom part of the plurality of width direction grooves (3a, 3b), the second boundary being between other side wall of the land portion at the step-in side and the bottom part of the plurality of width direction grooves (3a, 3b), both the side walls (50A, 50B) facing respective width direction grooves (3a, 3b), the bottom parts (u1, u2) being of the width direction grooves (3a, 3b) respectively, and wherein an area of the center part except the areas of the surfaces of the land portions (5a, 5b) accounts for 50% to 65% inclusive of a total area of the center part in a planar view. at least one of the land portions is configured such that, in a circumferential cross-section of the tire, wherein H is a maximum height of the land portion in a tire radial direction, and a reference point is set as a point 0.45H apart from an end edge at a kick-out side toward a step-in side on a surface of the land portion in the rotation direction, a relation D≥1.7S is satisfied, where S is a distance from the reference point to the end edge at the kick-out side on the surface of the land portion, and D is a distance to a boundary at the kick-out side, among boundaries, from a foot of a perpendicular line that is a section which passes through the reference point and is perpendicular to a virtual line set as the shortest line connecting a first boundary and a second boundary, the first boundary being between one side wall of the land portion at the kick-out side and a bottom part of the plurality of width direction grooves (3a, 3b), the second boundary being between other side wall of the land portion at the step-in side and the bottom part of the plurality of width direction grooves (3a, 3b), both the side walls (50A, 50B) facing respective width direction grooves (3a, 3b), the bottom parts (u1, u2) being of the width direction grooves (3a, 3b) respectively, and wherein an area of the center part except the areas of the surfaces of the land portions (5a, 5b) accounts for 50% to 65% inclusive of a total area of the center part in a planar view.
