A two-wheeled motor vehicle includes a control device and is configured such that a radius of curvature of a cross-section of a tire mounted on one of the front wheel and the rear wheel is larger than a radius of curvature of a cross-section of a tire mounted on the other wheel. The control device includes a sensor arranged to detect a rotation speed of the one wheel, a sensor arranged to detect a rotation speed of the other wheel, and a turn determining section programmed to determine that the vehicle is turning based on a condition that a value corresponding to a bank angle of the vehicle is higher than a threshold. The value corresponding to the bank angle of the vehicle is a value indicating the relative amount of the rotation speed of the one wheel relative to the rotation speed of the other wheel.
