Saddle ride type vehicle

A saddle-ride vehicle comprising:

• a steering actuator that applies torque in a steering direction to a suspension apparatus supporting a steering wheel;
• first detection means that detects a roll angular velocity of a vehicle;
• and
• a control apparatus that controls the steering actuator, based on the roll angular velocity detected by the first detection means, to apply the torque to the suspension apparatus,
• wherein the control apparatus:
• includes modes of the control, the modes including a first control mode that performs control to apply a predetermined first steering torque, and a second control mode that performs control to apply a second steering torque smaller than the first steering torque;
• and
• switches from the first control mode to the second control mode if speed of the vehicle is less than a predetermined threshold, the roll angular velocity has reversed polarity, and a turn signal of the vehicle has undergone a turn-on operation.
