QUICKSHIFTER-EQUIPPED VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT AND QUICKSHIFTER-EQUIPPED MOTORCYCLE

A quickshifter-equipped vehicle control unit (12) includes an engine speed calculator (51) configured to calculate an engine speed and a shift controller (56) configured to operate in a quick shift mode and in a normal shift mode. The quick shift mode is a mode in which upon detection of the shift operation, the shift controller (56) adjusts an output of an engine (E) while keeping a main clutch (25) in an engaged state, and the normal shift mode is a mode in which upon detection of the shift operation, the shift controller (56) controls a clutch actuator (26) to bring the main clutch (25) into a disengaged state. The shift controller (56) selects the quick shift mode when the engine speed is higher than a predetermined rotational speed threshold, and selects the normal shift mode when the engine speed is lower than the rotational speed threshold.
