Abstract

A motorcycle includes a display unit for representing information on the driving state and operating parameters of the motorcycle, an operating unit to generate control commands for controlling the display unit, and a multifunctional device with a screen. An application can be installed on the multifunctional device to allow other applications installed on the multifunctional device to be opened. The selection of further applications to be opened by the application can be represented on the screen in the form of pictograms. A control unit uses control commands for controlling the application, and the further applications to be opened by the application can be transmitted to the multifunctional device. The control commands for controlling the application, and the further applications to be opened by the application, can be generated by the operating unit, and a switching device can switch between control of the display unit and control of the multifunctional device.
