Provided is a braking enhancement arrangement (40) for a motorcycle (8). The enhancement arrangement (40) generally comprises an actuator (42) configured for operative engagement with an existing brake pedal (44) of the motorcycle (8), said actuator (42) configured to actuate said pedal (44). Arrangement (40) also includes a handlebar-mounted transducer (20) which is configured to accept either of a proportional pressure or positional input from a rider, and a pulsation selector (46) which is configured to accept a rider-selectable pulsation rate. The arrangement (40) includes a controller (22) which is arranged in signal communication with the actuator (42), transducer (20) and pulsation selector (36), with the controller (22) configured to receive the proportional rider input and pulsation rate and to proportionally actuate the actuator (42) to apply a braking force to the motorcycle (8) proportional to the proportional input at a periodicity corresponding to said pulsation rate.
