In this paper, a new rider-motorcycle system including front and rear suspensions is modeled using multi-body dynamics, and the stabilization control system is designed for the linearized reduced-order model. We have already modeled the rider-motorcycle system taking into account of the lean angle of the rider’s upper torso. The front and rear suspensions will be necessary for dynamical analysis of a motorcycle in braking situations. For the derived dynamical model with the front and rear suspensions, the front-steering assist controller is designed utilizing H(infinity) control. By carrying out simulations, the driving stability of the rider -motorcycle system with the front-steering assist control is investigated.
