Abstract
A motorcycle includes a transmission, a first measuring unit, a second measuring unit, and a controller. The transmission is configured to automatically shift gears between a driving shaft and a driven shaft to transmit power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft. The first measuring unit is configured to measure the magnitude of a roll angle of a vehicle body. The second measuring unit is configured to measure the angular velocity of the roll angle of the vehicle body. The controller is configured to inhibit the transmission from shifting gears, based on the magnitude and the angular velocity of the roll angle. This configuration provides a motorcycle that enables gear shift control with more detailed response to a situation of a vehicle body.
