Abstract
A brake master cylinder and a motorcycle including the brake master cylinder. The master cylinder has a main body and a sub-tank extending parallel to the main body. The master cylinder is arranged on the motorcycle to be generally perpendicular to the road surface, and the sub-tank is aligned with an axis of the main body. The main body and the sub-tank are integral and the sub-tank is disposed outwardly from the vehicle with respect to the axis of the main body. The resultant shape of the master cylinder is an elongated body which does not add to the width of the vehicle, and uses minimal space. The main body includes a mounting seat for mounting a brake hose, the mounting seat being arranged on the main body so as to extend perpendicularly to the axis of the main body.
