To provide a brake system capable of realizing a front-rear distribution of braking force according to variations in the running environments. A first control mode and a second control mode are provided by which it is possible to cope with variations in the running environments such as changes between traveling on a public road and traveling on a circuit racecourse and variations in road conditions such as changes between a dry road surface and a wet road surface. A mode change-over switch (26) is disposed between a kill switch (28) on the upper side and a starter switch (29) on the lower side, on the vehicle body center side relative to a right grip (27). Switching between the first control mode and the second control mode is carried out by use of the mode change-over switch (26). By arbitrarily switching over from the first control mode to the second control mode and vice versa, it is possible to perform braking control for a motorcycle corresponding to variations in the running environments.
