Abstract

A brake system for motorcycles and a method for regulating the brake pressure in a motorcycle having an anti-lock function and having an integral brake function are provided. By means of the integral brake function, front wheel brake means are actuated in connection with brake actuation at a rear wheel (RW), and a brake pressure (psollvr) in front wheel brake circuit is regulated on the basis of a predefined dependency (f) of a pressure (pmessHZ RW) caused by the brake actuation at the master brake cylinder of a rear wheel brake circuit. In the event of an anti-lock function at the rear wheel (RW), a higher brake pressure (psollvr) is set in the front wheel brake circuit than is set at the present pressure (pmessHZ RW) at the master brake cylinder on the basis of the dependency (f) in the absence of anti-lock regulating intervention.
