A braking system for motorcycles, having a first manual brake-operating member consisting of a brake lever, and a second foot-power brake-operating member consisting of a brake pedal. The braking system also includes a brake oil pressure generating unit, which is provided with a first brake oil pressure chamber having a first output port, and a second brake oil pressure chamber having a second output port, and which is capable of generating an oil pressure in the first and second brake oil pressure chambers by an input thereinto from either the first brake operating member or the second brake operating member to output a brake oil pressure to the first and second output ports. A brake for front wheels is communicated with the first output port, and adapted to be operated by an output oil pressure from the first output port and thereby apply the braking force to the front wheels. A brake for rear wheels is communicated with the second output port, and adapted to be operated by an output oil pressure from the second output port and thereby apply the braking force to the rear wheels. During a braking operation, the braking force from one of the brakes is lessened and restored by an anti-lock means.
