Saddle-ride type vehicle

A saddle-ride vehicle comprising:

• a main stand that is turnably provided on a vehicle body and holds the vehicle body so that the vehicle body does not topple over;
• a first detection unit that detects a turning state of the main stand;
• a steering actuator that applies torque in a steering direction to a suspension apparatus supporting a steering wheel;
• a control apparatus that controls the steering actuator to apply the torque to the suspension apparatus, wherein the control apparatus performs control to apply the torque so that the steering wheel is directed toward a front, depending on the turning state of the main stand;
• and
• second detection means that detects a pitch rate of the vehicle body, wherein the control apparatus stops control to apply the torque so that the steering wheel is directed toward a front, based on the pitch rate.

• and
• third detection means that detects an expansion/contraction state of a suspension of the vehicle body, wherein the control apparatus stops applying the torque to direct the steering wheel toward a front if it is determined that a wheel corresponding to a suspension of the vehicle body touches a road surface, based on an expansion/contraction state of the suspension.
