Abstract
A brake assembly for a motorcycle having a reduced number of components and assembly steps, and a simple control system with no interference between separate hydraulic systems. A brake assembly for a motorcycle provided with a front brake and a rear brake respectively for a front wheel and a rear wheel includes a first brake actuator and second brake actuator. An electronically controlled braking system includes a first actuating amount transmission system extending from the first brake actuating member connected to one of either the front brake or the rear brake for actuating whichever one of the front brake and rear brake that is not connected to the first actuating amount transmission system using an actuator as a result of being input with detection values for each of a first actuating amount detection member for detecting an actuating amount of the first brake actuator and second amount detection member for detecting an actuating amount of the second brake actuator and subjecting them to computation, and outputting control signals to the actuator based on the result of computation.
