Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a frame structure of a motorcycle, in particular to a frame structure of a motorcycle that can reduce the total weight of the motorcycle. Background Art

[0002] A motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle that can move via an engine, and the motorcycle can change its moving direction via a steering mechanism. Thus, the motorcycle has the effects of easy operation, convenient parking, and high mobility, making the motorcycle the most popular means of transportation currently.

[0003] For the currently common existing motorcycles on the market to provide a comfortable footrest for rear-seat passengers, the existing motorcycles are respectively provided with rear footrest mechanisms on the left and right sides of the frame, allowing the feet of the rear-seat passengers to step on the rear footrest mechanisms. However, in order to prevent the rear footrest mechanisms of the existing motorcycles from being disengaged from the frame due to being stepped on by the feet of the rear-seat passengers for a long time, multiple vehicle components are additionally installed between the frame and the rear footrest mechanisms to strengthen the structural strength of the connection between the rear footrest mechanisms and the frame. However, the installation of multiple vehicle components between the frame and the rear footrest mechanisms will increase the overall weight of the existing motorcycles.

[0004] In addition, when the existing motorcycle is moving forward, the engine of the existing motorcycle will generate vibrations due to the bumps on the road surface. In order to prevent the vibrations of the engine from being transmitted to the rider, shock absorbers are installed between the frame and the engine of the existing motorcycle. However, multiple connecting rods are designed in the central section of the frame of the existing motorcycle to connect multiple vehicle components (such as: the vehicle shell, the storage box, and the seat cushion), making it impossible to install the shock absorbers in the central section of the frame. Therefore, the shock absorbers must be arranged on the left and right sides of the frame, and the left and right widths of the existing motorcycle will increase accordingly, thus expanding the volume of the existing motorcycle.
