VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND MOTORCYCLE EQUIPPED WITH SAME

Provided is a vehicle control device which electronically controls transmission ratio of a continuously variable transmission and throttle opening, and can obtain a comfortable riding feeling and can realize an engine rotation speed matching a driving intention of driver. A storage device stores a first map defining engine rotation speed in a first driving mode and a second map defining engine rotation speed in a second driving mode. The control device acquires a driving intention value which is a numerical value indicating a driving intention of driver. The control device calculates a reference target engine rotation speed which is calculated between a first engine rotation speed calculated by using the first map and a second engine rotation speed calculated by using the second map and which corresponds to the driving intention value, and calculates a target engine rotation speed on the basis of the reference target engine rotation speed. The control device calculates a target transmission ratio on the basis of the target engine rotation speed. The control device calculates a target value for drive force of the vehicle on the basis of the target engine rotation speed, and calculates a target throttle opening so that a drive force corresponding to the target value can be obtained.
