1. A motorcycle-detecting device mounted on an automotive vehicle, comprising:

  • ultrasonic sensors for detecting objects located around of an automotive vehicle;

    means for predicting whether a motorcycle is approaching the automotive vehicle; and

    means for adjusting a detection distance of the ultrasonic sensors from a normal detection distance to a motorcycle-mode distance that is longer than the normal detection distance and a detection sensitivity of the ultrasonic sensors from a normal sensitivity to a motorcycle-mode sensitivity that is higher than the normal sensitivity, when the predicting means predicts that a motorcycle is approaching the automotive vehicle.
