A motorcycle (1), comprising a motorcycle body (2,3,4) having a front part (2), a tail part (4) and a central part (3); at least two wheels; a traction engine; at least one optical signalling device fixed to the motorcycle body (2,3,4), arranged and oriented so as to be visible by a vehicle that is following the motorcycle (1); additional signalling devices (75,76), preferably of an acoustic, optical or tactile type, other than the optical signalling device; and an electronic control unit (100) of the optical signalling device operatively connected to the optical signalling device and to the additional signalling devices (75,76); wherein the motorcycle (1) comprises an obstacle sensor (52) fixed to the motorcycle body (2,3,4) and operatively connected to the electronic control unit; the electronic control unit is to receive at least one output signal supplied by the obstacle sensor (52), verifying whether said output signal meets at least one logical activation condition and, in such case, turning on the additional signalling devices (75,76) to inform a driver of the motorcycle (1) of the presence of a frontal obstacle; and the obstacle sensor (52) is arranged on a steering handlebar or on a front shield/fairing (21) of the motorcycle (1) and is oriented so that the output signal carries information correlated to the presence of obstacles placed in front of the motor cycle (1). The driver may also be informed of the risk of collision with a vehicle behind.
