A saddle riding type vehicle includes a linkage, a lock, a controller, and an operator and prevents operation of a linkage upon fulfillment of a prescribed condition and allows the rider's intention to be more easily and accurately reflected in the control of the vehicle. The linkage connects a pair of front wheels to a vehicle body frame. The lock locks the linkage by preventing operation of the linkage and unlocks the linkage by allowing the linkage to operate. The operator continues to output an operation signal to the controller while an operation is input by the rider. The controller controls the lock to lock the linkage if the operation signal is input upon fulfillment of a locking condition that allows the linkage to be locked.
