Saddle-type vehicle
A saddle-type vehicle includes a link-type suspension system configured to make a vehicle support a driving wheel, and a motor configured to rotate the driving wheel. The driving wheel driven by the motor is a steered wheel. The link-type suspension system includes a swing arm having a pair of left and right arm portions that swingably supports the steered wheel. The motor is placed on one of left and right sides of a steering center axis in a width direction of the vehicle. A shock absorber is mounted on another arm portion of the swing arm, the another arm portion being placed on another of the left and right sides of the steering center axis in the width direction of the vehicle.
BICYCLE
The invention relates to a bicycle having a frame (1) comprising a front head tube (3) that defines a front steering axle (13) and on which a front fork steerer tube (5) having a front wheel fork (7) that receives a front wheel (8), and a steering link (15) on which a handlebar (11) is arranged, is rotatably mounted, and a rear head tube (4) that defines a rear steering axle (14) and on which a rear fork steerer tube (6) having a rear wheel fork (9) that receives a rear wheel (10) is rotatably mounted, wherein the rear fork steerer tube is connected to the front fork stecrer tube (5) via a coupling arrangement (12) and is rotatable in dependence of the rotation angle of the front fork steerer tube (5) and the front steering axle (13) and the rear steering axle (14) are inclined toward each other and intersect underneath the handlebar (16).

Engine support structure for saddled vehicle
An engine support structure for a saddled vehicle inhibits transmission of engine vibration to a vehicle body frame and keeps rigidity of the vehicle body frame. The engine support structure for a saddled vehicle includes a pair of mounted portions (21) provided integrally with an engine (E) and disposed at lateral ends in a vehicle width direction of the engine (E), a pair of engine supporting brackets (27) disposed at lateral ends in the vehicle width direction of a vehicle body frame (1) and extending to the mounted portions (21), respectively, and engine mounting portions (31) provided at the brackets (27), respectively, in which each of the mounted portions (21) is mounted to a corresponding one of the engine mounting portions (31) with at least one damper member (51) provided therebetween to be independently elastically displaceable.

STRADDLE VEHICLE
The straddle vehicle includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, at least one tank, an internal combustion engine, a seat, and a steering handle. The front wheel is a steering wheel. The rear wheel is a drive wheel arranged located rearward of the front wheel. The tank is configured to be filled with a gaseous fuel. The internal combustion engine generates power using gaseous fuel filled in the tank. The driver sits on the seat. The driver performs the steering operation to the steering handle. The center of gravity of the tank is located closer to the steering wheel with respect to the center of gravity of the internal combustion engine.
