The present invention provides a motorcycle provided with an interconnected brake system, wherein a structure is adopted in which the length around an equalizer in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be shortened. An equalizer 50 is supported, via a first linking part 53, on an arm part 28 extending upward from a brake pedal 25. A ring member 55 is supported on the upper portion of the equalizer 50 via a second linking part 58. An interconnecting brake cable 31 is linked to the upper portion of the ring member 55. The first linking part 53, the second linking part 58, a rotation support shaft 63 for the ring member 55, and a third linking part 59 are positioned in the stated order from bottom to top; therefore, it is possible for a vertically long structure to be assumed around the equalizer 50, and for the length around the equalizer 50 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to be shortened.
