A brake control method for when a two-wheeled motor vehicle is turning, comprising the steps of: a) judging whether or not the two-wheeled motor vehicle is turning; b) calculating a maximum braking force with which slipping of a front wheel will not arise and updating, on the basis of the calculation result, a stored maximum braking force for the front wheel; c) calculating a maximum braking force with which slipping of a rear wheel will not arise and updating, on the basis of the calculation result, a stored maximum braking force for the rear wheel; characterized by d) making (S6, S8) the braking forces effect on the front wheel and the rear wheel, the braking forces being limited to predetermined percentages of the corresponding maximum braking forces and being lower than the corresponding updated maximum braking force, in a case where there has been a brake operation by a driver during turning; and e) bringing the braking forces on the front wheel and the rear wheel that have been limited closer to the corresponding updated maximum braking forces: wherein: - the predetermined percentage for limiting the braking forces on the front wheel and the predetermined percentage for limiting the braking forces on the rear wheel are predetermined so as to be different from each other, or - an amount of rise of the braking force on the front wheel for bringing the braking force closer to the maximum braking force and an amount of rise of the braking force on the rear wheel for bringing the braking force closer to the maximum braking force are predetermined so as to be are different from each other. a) judging whether or not the two-wheeled motor vehicle is turning; b) calculating a maximum braking force with which slipping of a front wheel will not arise and updating, on the basis of the calculation result, a stored maximum braking force for the front wheel; c) calculating a maximum braking force with which slipping of a rear wheel will not arise and updating, on the basis of the calculation result, a stored maximum braking force for the rear wheel; characterized by d) making (S6, S8) the braking forces effect on the front wheel and the rear wheel, the braking forces being limited to predetermined percentages of the corresponding maximum braking forces and being lower than the corresponding updated maximum braking force, in a case where there has been a brake operation by a driver during turning; and e) bringing the braking forces on the front wheel and the rear wheel that have been limited closer to the corresponding updated maximum braking forces: wherein: - the predetermined percentage for limiting the braking forces on the front wheel and the predetermined percentage for limiting the braking forces on the rear wheel are predetermined so as to be different from each other, or - an amount of rise of the braking force on the front wheel for bringing the braking force closer to the maximum braking force and an amount of rise of the braking force on the rear wheel for bringing the braking force closer to the maximum braking force are predetermined so as to be are different from each other. - the predetermined percentage for limiting the braking forces on the front wheel and the predetermined percentage for limiting the braking forces on the rear wheel are predetermined so as to be different from each other, or - an amount of rise of the braking force on the front wheel for bringing the braking force closer to the maximum braking force and an amount of rise of the braking force on the rear wheel for bringing the braking force closer to the maximum braking force are predetermined so as to be are different from each other.
