[0034] The following description, based on the accompanying drawings, describes a motorized two-wheeled vehicle as one embodiment of the riding vehicle of this utility model. The drawings are viewed along the directions indicated by the reference numerals. Furthermore, in this specification and the like, for the sake of simplicity and clarity, the directions of front-back, left-right, and up-down are described according to the direction viewed from the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle. In the drawings, the front of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle is denoted as Fr, the rear as Rr, the left as L, the right as R, the top as U, and the bottom as D.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 of this embodiment includes a front wheel FW and a rear wheel RW, a frame 10, a cover component 20 mounted on the frame 10 and covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, and a power unit 30 mounted on the frame 10.

[0036] The frame 10 includes a head tube 11, a main frame 12, a pair of left and right pivot frames 13, a pair of left and right seat frames 14, and a pair of left and right rear frames 15.

[0037] The head tube 11 is located at the front end of the frame 10 and is a tubular component extending forward and downward. The shaft 522 of the steering unit 52, described later, passes through the head tube 11.

[0038] The front end of the main frame 12 is connected to the head tube 11, and the main frame 12 extends from the head tube 11 diagonally downward and backward.

[0039] Both left and right pivot frames 13 are connected at their upper ends to the vicinity of the rear end of the main frame 12, and are slightly inclined rearward and extend downward. The left pivot frame 13 bends to the left from the vicinity of the rear end of the main frame 12 and extends rearward and downward. The right pivot frame 13 bends to the right from the vicinity of the rear end of the main frame 12 and extends rearward and downward. Each of the left and right pivot frames 13 forms a swing arm pivot 13a, which rotates from the front end of the left and right swing arms 16, which are supported by a pivot shaft. Therefore, a pair of left and right swing arm pivots 13a are provided on the frame 10.

[0040] Both left and right seat frames 14 are connected at the rear of the main frame 12 at a position further forward than the connection position of the pivot frame 13. Moreover, the front region of both left and right seat frames 14 extends diagonally backward and upward from the rear of the main frame 12, then bends downward midway, while the rear region extends diagonally backward and upward at a smaller angle relative to the horizontal direction than the front region.

[0041] The front ends of the left and right rear frames 15 are connected to the left and right pivot frames 13, and the left and right rear frames 15 extend backward and upward from the pivot frames 13, with their rear ends connected to the left and right seat frames 14. The front end of the left rear frame 15 is connected to the left pivot frame 13, and the left rear frame 15 extends backward and upward from the left pivot frame 13, with its rear end connected to the left seat frame 14. The front end of the right rear frame 15 is connected to the right pivot frame 13, and the right rear frame 15 extends backward and upward from the right pivot frame 13, with its rear end connected to the right seat frame 14.

[0042] The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 has a pair of left and right swing arms 16 disposed on the left and right sides of the rear wheel RW and extending in the longitudinal direction. The pair of left and right swing arms 16 support the rear wheel RW at their rear ends. The front end of the left swing arm 16 is axled to a swing arm pivot 13a formed in the pivot frame 13 on the left side. The front end of the right swing arm 16 is axled to a swing arm pivot 13a formed in the pivot frame 13 on the right side. The pair of left and right swing arms 16 are each capable of rotating up and down about the swing arm pivot 13a as a fulcrum. The pair of left and right swing arms 16 function as a frame for connecting the rear wheel RW to the frame 10, and also function as part of a buffer device for absorbing impacts input to the rear wheel RW.

[0043] The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 has a pair of left and right rear suspensions 17 that function as part of a buffer device to absorb impacts input to the rear wheel (RW). The upper end of the left rear suspension 17 is connected to the left rear frame 15, and the lower end is connected to the left control arm 16. The upper end of the right rear suspension 17 is connected to the right rear frame 15, and the lower end is connected to the right control arm 16. Each pair of left and right rear suspensions 17 has, for example, a cylindrical shock absorber unit and a coil spring wound around the shock absorber unit. Impacts input to the rear wheel (RW) are attenuated by the rear suspensions 17 via the control arms 16.

[0044] The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 includes a passenger seat 18 for the driver. The passenger seat 18 is positioned above the pair of left and right seat frames 14, straddling them. The passenger seat 18 is fixed to the pair of left and right seat frames 14. In addition to the driver, the passenger seat 18 also allows a passenger to sit behind the driver.

[0045] The cover component 20 covers various parts of the frame 10 and guides the driving wind from the front of the motorized two-wheeler 1. The cover component 20 is divided into multiple parts. In this embodiment, the cover component 20 has: a front cover 21 that covers the front of the head tube 11; a pair of left and right first side covers 22 that cover the left and right sides of the front area of ​​the main frame 12; a pair of left and right second side covers 23 that extend rearward from the rear end of the first side covers 22 and cover the sides of the motorized two-wheeler 1; a pair of left and right third side covers 24 that extend downward from the lower end of the front area of ​​the second side covers 23 and cover the sides of the motorized two-wheeler 1; a front side crossing cover 25 that covers the rear of the head tube 11 and the upper part of the front area of ​​the main frame 12; and a rear side crossing cover 26 that extends rearward from the rear end of the front side crossing cover 25 and covers the upper part of the front area of ​​the main frame 12 and the lower part of the front end of the passenger seat 18. The front side crossing cover 25 also functions as a leg guard wind deflector.

[0046] The front crossover cover 25 and the rear crossover cover 26 form a roughly U-shaped crossover 27 that curves downward from the front end of the occupant seat 18 when viewed from the side.

[0047] When the driver is riding in the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, he crosses over the span 27 and sits in the passenger seat 18.

[0048] The power unit 30 is positioned approximately in the center of the vehicle width direction and is located below the main frame 12 when viewed from the left and right sides. The upper part of the power unit 30 is fixed to the main frame 12 directly or via elastic components such as bolts and nuts, and the rear part is fixed to the main frame 12 and / or the pivot frame 13.

[0049] The power unit 30 includes an engine 31, a clutch unit 32 with a friction clutch (not shown), and a transmission mechanism (not shown). When the friction clutch is engaged, the power unit 30 outputs power from the engine 31 via the transmission mechanism from its output shaft. Furthermore, when the friction clutch is disengaged, no power from the engine 31 is output from the output shaft of the power unit 30. Thus, the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 of this embodiment is a motorized two-wheeled vehicle that uses the power of the engine 31 of the power unit 30 mounted on the frame 10 to drive the rotation of the rear wheel RW; that is, a motorized two-wheeled vehicle that uses the engine 31 of the power unit 30 as a power source and the rear wheel RW as the drive wheel.

[0050] The engine 31 of the power unit 30 includes: a crankcase 311, which houses a crankshaft (not shown); a cylinder block 312, which has a cylinder axis that slopes forward and upward from the crankcase 311 and extends in the longitudinal direction; a cylinder head 313, which is connected to the front end of the cylinder block 312 and supports the valve mechanism; a cover 314, which is connected to the front end of the cylinder head 313 and covers the valve mechanism on the cylinder head 313; and an intake manifold 315, which extends from the cylinder head 313.

[0051] The clutch unit 32 of the power unit 30 is mounted on the right side of the crankcase 311.

[0052] The transmission mechanism of the power unit 30 (not shown) is housed inside the crankcase 311.

[0053] The power unit 30 also includes an ACG (Alternating Current Generator) starter 33, which is connected to the crankshaft (not shown) of the engine 31 and functions as both a generator for the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 and a starter for the engine 31. The ACG starter 33 is mounted on the left side of the crankcase 311. The ACG starter 33 has a rotor (not shown) that rotates integrally with the crankshaft of the engine 31 and a stator (not shown) fixed to the crankcase 311 of the engine 31. The detailed function of the ACG starter 33 in the power unit 30 is as follows: when the crankshaft of the engine 31 rotates, the rotor of the ACG starter 33 rotates, generating electricity. Conversely, when current flows through the coils of the stator of the ACG starter 33, the rotor rotates, forcing the crankshaft of the engine 31 to rotate. Therefore, by allowing current to flow through the coil of the stator provided in the ACG starter 33, the crankshaft of the engine 31 can be forced to rotate, thereby starting the engine 31.

[0054] The power unit 30 is connected to an intake device 34 that supplies a mixture to the engine 31 and an exhaust device 35 that discharges exhaust gases from the engine 31 to the rear. Additionally, the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 includes a fuel tank (not shown). This fuel tank is, for example, located between a pair of left and right seat frames 14 of the frame 10.

[0055] The intake device 34 includes: a throttle body 341 connected to an intake pipe 315 extending from the cylinder head 313 of the engine 31 of the power unit 30, and having a throttle valve (not shown) inside; an air filter 342 for purifying external air supplied to the engine 31 of the power unit 30; and a connecting pipe 343 connecting the throttle body 341 to the air filter 342. Air purified by the air filter 342 introduced from outside the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 is guided to the throttle body 341 through the connecting pipe 343, where the airflow is adjusted by throttle valve operation, and supplied from the intake pipe 315 to the cylinder head 313 of the engine 31.

[0056] Additionally, a fuel injection device (not shown) is installed on the throttle body 341 of the intake device 34, which injects fuel from the fuel tank into the interior of the throttle body 341. This fuel injection device is connected via a fuel line to a fuel pump (not shown) described later. Fuel is injected from the fuel pump into the fuel injection device at any pressure.

[0057] Furthermore, in the throttle region 341, the air purified by the air filter 342 and the fuel injected from the fuel injection device generate a mixture with an appropriate air-fuel ratio. Through throttle valve operation, the mixture with an appropriate flow rate is supplied from the throttle region 341 to the cylinder head 313 of the engine 31 of the power unit 30.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air filter 342 is disposed below the main frame 12 and connected to the main frame 12 at the top.

[0059] The exhaust system 35 includes an exhaust pipe 351, the front end of which extends downward from the lower surface of the cylinder head 313 of the engine 31, bends rearward, and extends rearward through the underside of the power unit 30. A catalyst 352 for purifying the exhaust gases of the engine 31 and a muffler 353 for silencing the engine 31 and releasing the exhaust gases into the atmosphere are disposed on the exhaust pipe 351. The exhaust gases of the engine 31 are purified by the catalyst 352 through the exhaust pipe 351, and after passing through the muffler 353, are released rearward into the atmosphere.

[0060] The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 is equipped with a power transmission unit 40 that transmits power generated by the engine 31, which is a power source, to the rear wheel RW.

[0061] The power transmission unit 40 includes: a drive sprocket 41 connected to and rotating integrally with the output shaft of the power unit 30; a driven sprocket 42 rotating integrally with the rear wheel RW; and a chain 43 wound around the drive sprocket 41 and the driven sprocket 42. Rotational power output from the power unit 30 is transmitted to the driven sprocket 42 via the drive sprocket 41 and the chain 43, and the rear wheel RW is driven by the rotational power transmitted from the power unit 30 to the driven sprocket 42. Thus, the drive sprocket 41, the driven sprocket 42, and the chain 43 are each one of the transmission components for transmitting power generated by the engine 31 of the power unit 30, which is the power source of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1.

[0062] The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 has a pair of left and right front forks 51, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the front wheel FW. The forks 51 have a cylindrical shape that tilts forward and extends vertically downward. The lower ends of the left and right front forks 51 support the front wheel FW. The left and right front forks 51 function as a frame for connecting the front wheel FW to the frame 10, and also function as a buffer device for absorbing impacts input to the front wheel FW.

[0063] The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 has a steering unit 52 that is rotatably supported on the frame 10 and supports a pair of left and right front forks 51.

[0064] The steering unit 52 includes: a rod-shaped handlebar 521 that extends in the vehicle width direction and allows the front wheel to steer freely; a rod axle 522 that passes through the head tube 11 of the frame 10; and a lower bracket 524 that is provided at the lower end of the rod axle 522 and connects and fixes the upper ends of the left and right front forks 51 to each other.

[0065] The handlebars 521 are fixed to the upper end of the axle 522. Furthermore, when the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 turns the handlebars 521, which extends along the width of the vehicle, the steering unit 52 rotates integrally with the axle 522 (the head tube 11 of the frame 10) as its axis. At this time, the left and right front forks 51, fixed to the lower bracket 524, and the front wheel FW, supported at the lower end of the left and right front forks 51, also rotate integrally with the steering unit 52 with the axle 522 (the head tube 11 of the frame 10) as its axis. Thus, by turning the handlebars 521, the front wheel FW can be steered.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, a left-side handlebar 521a is provided at the left end of the handlebar 521 extending along the width of the vehicle. When driving, the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 holds the left-side handlebar 521a with his left hand.

[0067] An accelerator grip 521b is provided at the right end of the handlebar 521 extending along the width of the vehicle. When riding, the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 holds the accelerator grip 521b with their right hand. The accelerator grip 521b is a drive force input device that inputs the required drive force to the engine 31 through the driver's operation. When viewed from the extension direction of the handlebar 521, the accelerator grip 521b can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. Moreover, the more the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 views from the left and rotates the accelerator grip 521b clockwise with their right hand, the higher the required drive force to the engine 31; conversely, the more the driver views from the left and rotates the accelerator grip 521b counterclockwise with their right hand, the lower the required drive force to the engine 31.

[0068] Thus, when driving, the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 holds the left-side handlebar 521a with his left hand and holds and operates the accelerator handlebar 521b with his right hand, while turning the handlebar 521. This allows him to adjust the required driving force on the engine 31 and turn the front wheel FW to steer the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 to the left or right.

[0069] A first master cylinder 531 is fixed on the right side of the handlebar 521, at a position closer to the center of the vehicle width direction than the accelerator grip 521b. The front brake lever 532 is swivelly supported on the first master cylinder 531 in the forward and backward direction. The front brake lever 532 is configured to extend in front of the accelerator grip 521b in the vehicle width direction, parallel to the accelerator grip 521b, so that the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 can operate it without taking his right hand off the accelerator grip 521b when the vehicle is in motion.

[0070] A second master cylinder 541 is fixed on the left side of the handlebar 521, at a position closer to the center of the vehicle width direction than the left handlebar 521a. The rear brake lever 542 is swivel freely in the front-rear direction and is supported by the second master cylinder 541. The rear brake lever 542 is configured to extend in front of the left handlebar 521a in the vehicle width direction, parallel to the left handlebar 521a, so that the driver of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 can operate it without taking his left hand off the left handlebar 521a when the vehicle is in motion.

[0071] A front brake 61 is provided on the front wheel FW of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1. In this embodiment, the front brake 61 is a hydraulic disc brake. The front brake 61 has a disc rotor 611 that rotates integrally with the front wheel FW and a brake caliper 612 assembled with brake blocks and pistons. The brake blocks are arranged on both sides of the disc rotor 611 in a manner that clamps the disc rotor 611.

[0072] The brake caliper 612 is provided with a first input port 612a and a second input port 612b. The first input port 612a is connected to the first master cylinder 531, which is fixed to the right side of the handlebar 521, via a first hydraulic conduit 613a. The second input port 612b is connected to the second master cylinder 541, which is fixed to the left side of the handlebar 521, via a second hydraulic conduit 613b.

[0073] When the front brake lever 532 is operated, hydraulic pressure is supplied from the first master cylinder 531 to the brake caliper 612 via the first hydraulic conduit 613a and the first input port 612a. When the rear brake lever 542 is operated, hydraulic pressure is supplied from the second master cylinder 541 to the brake caliper 612 via the second hydraulic conduit 613b and the second input port 612b.

[0074] When hydraulic pressure is supplied from at least one of the first input port 612a and the second input port 612b of the brake caliper 612, the front brake 61 causes the piston to move by the supplied hydraulic pressure, causing the brake pads to clamp the disc rotor 611 from both sides, and the front wheel FW is braked by the friction generated when the brake pads press against the disc rotor 611.

[0075] A rear brake 62 is provided on the rear wheel RW of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1. In this embodiment, the rear brake 62 is a mechanical drum brake. The rear brake 62 has a brake drum 621 that rotates integrally with the rear wheel RW, a brake shoe 622 with brake pads tensioned on its outer circumferential surface, and an actuating lever 623 that actuates the brake shoe 622.

[0076] The actuation lever 623 of the rear brake 62 is connected to the balance mechanism 542a provided on the rear brake lever 542 via the brake cable 624.

[0077] The brake cable 624 is composed of a Bowden wire having an inner cable 624a and an outer cable 624b through which the inner cable 624a slides freely.

[0078] One end of the inner cable 624a is connected to the balance mechanism 542a provided on the rear brake lever 542, and the other end of the inner cable 624a is connected to the actuation lever 623 of the rear brake 62.

[0079] One end of the external cable 624b is held in a cable holder 541a, which extends from the housing of the second master cylinder 541, which is fixed to the left side of the handlebar 521. The other end of the external cable 624b is held in a fixed bracket 63 located near the rear brake 62. A return spring 625 is installed between the fixed bracket 63 and the actuating lever 623 of the rear brake 62 to apply force to the non-acting position of the actuating lever 623.

[0080] When the rear brake lever 542 is operated, the inner cable 624a of the brake cable 624 is pulled through the balancing mechanism 542a, and the actuating lever 623 of the rear brake 62 is activated.

[0081] In the rear brake 62, when the actuating lever 623 is activated, the brake shoe 622 presses against the inner circumferential surface of the brake drum 621 by the actuating lever 623. Moreover, when the brake shoe 622 presses against the inner circumferential surface of the brake drum 621, the rear brake 62 uses the friction generated between the brake pads tensioned on the outer circumferential surface of the brake shoe 622 and the brake drum 621 to brake the rear wheel RW.

[0082] A left foot pedal 70 is provided on the left side of the power unit 30 to hold the driver's left foot. The left foot pedal 70 holds the area of ​​the arch of the driver's left foot or an area slightly behind the arch (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 4 ).

[0083] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, a right foot pedal 80 for holding the driver's right foot is provided on the right side of the power unit 30. The right foot pedal 80 includes: a right foot rear holding part 81, which has a right foot rear holding surface 801 for holding the arch area of ​​the driver's right foot or a region further back than the arch; and a right foot front holding part 82, which is provided in front of the right foot holding part 81, and has a right foot front holding surface 802 for holding the area of ​​the driver's right foot further forward than the arch, such as the region including the ball of the right foot.

[0084] In this embodiment, the right foot rear retaining part 81 and the right foot front retaining part 82 are formed by different components.

[0085] The right foot rear retainer 81 of the left foot pedal 70 and the right foot pedal 80 is supported by a tubular first support frame 91 extending in the vehicle width direction.

[0086] The tubular first support frame 91 includes: a crossbeam portion 910 that extends horizontally through the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311 in the left-right direction and along the vehicle width direction; a left-side upright portion 911L that bends upward from the left end of the crossbeam portion 910 on the left outer side of the crankcase 311 and extends vertically; a left-side pedal mounting portion 912L that bends outward in the vehicle width direction, i.e. to the left, from the upper end of the left-side upright portion 911L and extends vertically along the vehicle width direction; a right-side upright portion 911R that bends upward from the right end of the crossbeam portion 910 on the right outer side of the crankcase 311 and extends vertically along the vehicle width direction; and a right-side pedal mounting portion 912R that bends outward in the vehicle width direction, i.e. to the right, from the upper end of the right-side upright portion 911R and extends vertically along the vehicle width direction. Furthermore, a left foot pedal 70 is mounted on the left foot pedal mounting portion 912L of the first support frame 91, and a right foot rear retaining portion 81 of the right foot pedal 80 is mounted on the right foot pedal mounting portion 912R of the first support frame 91.

[0087] The first support frame 91 is fixed to the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311 at the crossbeam portion 910 via the support bracket 90.

[0088] Multiple downwardly protruding bosses are provided on the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311, which are used to fasten the support bracket 90. These multiple bosses are integrally formed with the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311. In this embodiment, a pair of left and right front bosses 311b1 located in front of the crossbeam portion 910 of the first support frame 91 and a pair of left and right rear bosses 311b2 located in rear of the crossbeam portion 910 of the first support frame 91 are integrally formed on the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311 in such a way that they protrude downward from the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311.

[0089] The support bracket 90 includes: a left support bracket 90L, which crosses the crossbeam portion 910 of the first support frame 91 in the front-rear direction and is fixed to the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311 by a front boss 311b1 on the left and a rear boss 311b2 on the left; and a right support bracket 90R, which crosses the crossbeam portion 910 of the first support frame 91 in the front-rear direction and is fixed to the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311 by a front boss 311b1 on the right and a rear boss 311b2 on the right.

[0090] On the left support bracket 90L and the right support bracket 90R, bolt through holes are formed at positions that overlap with the front bosses 311b1 and rear bosses 311b2 on the left and right sides, respectively, when viewed from below. The crossbeam portion 910 of the first support frame 91 is clamped by the left support bracket 90L, the right support bracket 90R, and the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311, allowing the bolts 900 to pass through the bolt through holes on the left support bracket 90L and the right support bracket 90R from below, and to be fastened to the pair of front bosses 311b1 and the pair of rear bosses 311b2. Thus, the first support frame 91 is supported by the left support bracket 90L and the right support bracket 90R via the crossbeam portion 910, and is fixed to the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311.

[0091] The left foot pedal 70 is formed of resin such as rubber. The left foot pedal 70 is a bottomed cylindrical shape and is externally fixed to the left foot pedal mounting portion 912L of the first support frame 91 from the left. Therefore, the bottomed cylindrical portion of the left foot pedal 70 is configured to surround the outer peripheral surface of the left foot pedal mounting portion 912L of the first support frame 91.

[0092] Furthermore, the upper surface of the left foot pedal 70 serves as a left foot holding surface 700 for holding the arch area of ​​the driver's left foot or an area further back than the arch. The driver drives the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 with the arch area of ​​the left foot or an area further back than the arch placed on the left foot holding surface 700 of the left foot pedal 70 during driving.

[0093] The right foot support portion 81 of the right foot pedal 80 is formed of resin such as rubber. The right foot support portion 81 has a shape that is approximately symmetrical to the left foot pedal 70. The right foot support portion 81 is a bottomed cylindrical shape and is externally fixed to the right foot pedal mounting portion 912R of the first support frame 91 from the right. Therefore, the right foot support portion 81 is configured as a bottomed cylindrical portion surrounding the outer peripheral surface of the right foot pedal mounting portion 912R of the first support frame 91.

[0094] Furthermore, the upper surface of the right foot rear retaining part 81 becomes the right foot rear retaining surface 801, which holds the arch area of ​​the driver's right foot or the area behind the arch of the foot. The driver drives the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 with the arch area of ​​the right foot or the area behind the arch of the foot placed on the right foot rear retaining surface 801 of the right foot pedal 80 during the driving of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1.

[0095] Furthermore, a tubular second support frame 92 is joined to the right side region of the first support frame 91 by welding or the like.

[0096] The second support frame 92 is connected to the right upright portion 911R of the first support frame 91, which extends in the vertical direction. The tubular second support frame 92 has: an extension portion 921 that slopes upward from the right upright portion 911R of the first support frame 91 and extends diagonally forward to the right; and a base plate mounting portion 922 that bends outward in the vehicle width direction, i.e. to the right, from the upper front end of the extension portion 921 and extends in the vehicle width direction.

[0097] Thus, the first support frame 91 and the second support frame 92 are supported on the same right-side support bracket 90R and fixed to the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 (more specifically, the bottom wall 311a of the crankcase 311 of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1).

[0098] Therefore, the component used to fix the second support frame 92 to the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 can be omitted, and thus the second support frame 92 can be fixed to the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 without increasing the number of components.

[0099] On the extension 921, a drainage hole 92a is provided near the joint with the first support frame 91.

[0100] Therefore, even if water intrudes into the interior of the tubular second support frame 92, the water that has intruded into the interior of the second support frame 92 can be effectively discharged to the outside through the drain hole 92a.

[0101] At the junction of the first support frame 91 and the second support frame 92, a roughly L-shaped reinforcing plate 94 is joined to the right upright portion 911R of the first support frame 91 and the extension portion 921 of the second support frame 92 by welding or the like. The reinforcing plate 94 extends diagonally forward and to the right from the lower end of the second support frame 92 along the extension direction of the extension portion 921 of the second support frame 92 from the junction, and extends vertically from the front end of the first support frame 91 along the extension direction of the right upright portion 911R of the first support frame 91.

[0102] A base plate 93 is attached to the base plate mounting portion 922 by welding or the like. The base plate 93 is a metal plate extending in the front-back and left-right directions. In this embodiment, the lower surface of the base plate 93 is welded to and attached to the upper part of the base plate mounting portion 922.

[0103] The outer end of the base plate mounting portion 922 of the tubular second support frame 92 in the vehicle width direction opens outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0104] The right foot holding portion 82 of the right foot pedal 80 is engaged with the base plate 93. The right foot holding portion 82 is formed of resin such as rubber. In this way, the right foot holding portion 82 of the right foot pedal 80 is supported by the second support frame 92 via the base plate 93.

[0105] The right foot pedal 80 has a right foot forward holding portion 82 that covers the upper surface of the base plate 93 and the front, rear, left and right sides. In the right foot forward holding portion 82 of the right foot pedal 80, the upward-facing surface of the cover portion 821 becomes the right foot forward holding surface 802.

[0106] A plurality of downwardly protruding locking protrusions 822 are formed on the lower surface of the cover portion 821. In this embodiment, one locking protrusion 822 is formed in each of the left front region, right front region, left rear region and right rear region on the lower surface of the cover portion 821, for a total of four locking protrusions 822.

[0107] On the base plate 93, there are locking holes 93a extending through the vertical direction at positions that overlap with each locking protrusion 822 when viewed from above. The right foot front retaining part 82 is locked to the base plate 93 by pressing the locking protrusion 822 from above into each locking hole 93a of the base plate 93.

[0108] A sealing portion 823 is provided on the base plate 93 to block the outer end of the base plate mounting portion 922 that opens outward in the vehicle width direction. This prevents water and foreign objects from entering the interior of the second support frame 92 from the outer end of the base plate mounting portion 922 in the vehicle width direction.

[0109] The driver drives the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 with the area of ​​the right foot that is forward of the sole of the foot, such as the area including the ball of the right big toe, placed on the right foot pedal 80 in front of the right foot holding surface 802 during the driving of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1.

[0110] Typically, in existing motorized two-wheeled vehicles equipped with foot brakes, the driver operates the foot brake using the area of ​​the right foot forward of the arch. The motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 of this embodiment does not have a foot brake; the front brake lever 532 and the rear brake lever 542 are mounted on the handlebars 521. Furthermore, the right foot pedal 80 has a right foot rear holding portion 81 and a right foot front holding portion 82. During the operation of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, the area of ​​the driver's right foot forward of the arch is held by the right foot front holding portion 82. Therefore, during the operation of the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, the position and posture of the driver's right ankle are maintained, thus reducing fatigue in the driver's right ankle. In addition, the driver can easily recognize that the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 does not have a foot brake but has a right foot front holding portion 82; therefore, when the driver wants to brake the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, they can easily identify and operate the front brake lever 532 and the rear brake lever 542.

[0111] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the right foot rear retaining part 81 and the right foot front retaining part 82 are formed from different components. Therefore, this can be achieved simply by adding a second support frame 92, a base plate 93, and a cover part 821 to an existing motorized two-wheeled vehicle that only has a right foot pedal equivalent to the right foot rear retaining part 81 of this embodiment. As a result, manufacturing costs can be reduced, and design modifications to existing motorized two-wheeled vehicles can be easily made.

[0112] Furthermore, since the second support frame 92 is combined with the right upright portion 911R of the first support frame 91 extending in the vertical direction, the load-bearing capacity of the second support frame 92 can be ensured when the driver places the area of ​​his right foot in front of the right foot holding surface 802 of the right foot pedal 80 in a position where the area of ​​the right foot is in front of the ball of the foot, such as the area containing the ball of the right foot, on the right foot holding surface 802 of the right foot pedal 80, and the length of the second support frame 92 can be shortened.

[0113] The right foot forward retaining portion 82 is configured such that at least a portion of the right foot forward retaining surface 802 is located in the front end 18a of the passenger seat 18 and the handlebar axle 521c of the handlebar 521 in the fore-and-aft direction. The handlebar axle 521c is a portion that serves as the rotation center of the handlebar 521 extending in the vehicle width direction; that is, in this embodiment, it is a connection portion to the shaft axle 522 of the handlebar 521.

[0114] Thus, the driver can maintain a natural posture while driving the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, with the area of ​​the right foot forward of the right foot resting surface 802 on the right foot pedal 80.

[0115] like Figure 10 As shown, the right foot front retaining part 82 is configured such that the right foot front retaining surface 802 is located below the right foot rear retaining surface 801 of the right foot rear retaining part 81.

[0116] Furthermore, the right foot front retaining part 82 is configured such that the right foot front retaining surface 802 is located between the upper end 81a and the lower end 81b of the right foot rear retaining part 81 in the vertical direction.

[0117] Thus, the driver can maintain a natural posture while driving the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1, with the area of ​​the right foot forward of the right foot resting surface 802 on the right foot pedal 80.

[0118] In a side view, the front retainer 82 of the right foot is positioned such that, in the longitudinal direction, the front end 82c is located at a position overlapping with the cylinder block 312, and the rear end 82a is located at a position overlapping with the crankcase 311.

[0119] In addition, the right foot front retainer 82 is configured to overlap at least part of the cylinder block 312 and crankcase 311 in the side view.

[0120] The lower end 82d of the right foot front retainer 82 is located above the lower end of the crankcase 311.

[0121] The front crossover cover 25, which also functions as a leg guard wind shield, extends to a position lower than the right foot front retainer 82, so that the lower end 25a is lower than the lower end 82d of the right foot front retainer 82.

[0122] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, the rear end portion 82a of the right foot front retainer 82 extends obliquely along the vehicle width direction in such a way that the distance between it and the right foot rear retainer 81 increases as it moves outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0123] Therefore, even if there are foreign objects or the like stuck between the right foot rear retaining part 81 and the right foot front retaining part 82, the foreign objects or the like can be easily removed from between the right foot rear retaining part 81 and the right foot front retaining part 82.

[0124] A chamfered portion 82b is formed at the outer end of the front end of the right foot forward retaining portion 82 in the vehicle width direction. The chamfered portion 82b extends backward at an angle in the vehicle width direction toward the outer end of the right foot forward retaining portion 82.

[0125] Therefore, even if an object hits the outer end of the front end of the right foot forward retainer 82 in the vehicle width direction, it is possible to prevent the impact of the object that collides with the outer end of the front end of the right foot forward retainer 82 in the vehicle width direction from being concentrated locally.

[0126] The right foot forward retainer 82 is positioned in the vehicle width direction inward of the right foot rear retainer 81.

[0127] like Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, a seesaw-type gear shift pedal 36 for operation by the driver's left foot is provided on the left side of the power unit 30. The gear shift pedal 36 has a swing axis extending in the longitudinal direction and in the vehicle width direction, and is configured to swing freely around this swing axis. The swing axis is located near the left foot pedal 70. The gear shift pedal 36 has a front pedal portion 361 located forward of the swing axis and a rear pedal portion 362 located rear of the swing axis. When the driver presses down on the front pedal portion 361 with their left foot, viewed from the left, the gear shift pedal 36 swings counterclockwise around the swing axis. When the driver presses down on the rear pedal portion 362 with their left foot, viewed from the left, the gear shift pedal 36 swings clockwise around the swing axis. When the front pedal portion 361 and the rear pedal portion 362 are not pressed by the driver's left foot, the gear shift pedal 36 is forced back to its initial position.

[0128] When the transmission mechanism (not shown) is in neutral, if the driver presses the front pedal 361 downwards with their left foot, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 is disengaged, and the transmission shifts from neutral to the first speed. Furthermore, when the driver removes their left foot from the front pedal 361 and returns the shift pedal 36 to its initial position, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 engages, and the power unit 30 outputs driving force based on the first speed. Next, when the driver presses the front pedal 361 downwards with their left foot, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 disengages, and the transmission shifts from the first speed to the second speed. And, when the driver removes their left foot from the front pedal 361 and returns the shift pedal 36 to its initial position, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 engages, and the power unit 30 outputs driving force based on the second speed. Similarly, whenever the driver presses the front pedal 361 downwards with their left foot and then returns the shift pedal 36 to its initial position, the transmission mechanism shifts up through the second, third, and fourth speeds. Furthermore, when the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 is in motion, if the transmission mechanism is in the highest gear, no shifting operation will occur even if the driver presses the front pedal 361 downwards with their left foot. On the other hand, when the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 is parked, if the driver presses the front pedal 361 downwards with their left foot while the transmission mechanism is in the highest gear, the transmission mechanism shifts to neutral.

[0129] When the driver depresses the rear pedal 362 downwards with their left foot while in the transmission mechanism (not shown) at, for example, fourth speed, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 is disengaged, and the transmission mechanism downshifts from fourth speed to third speed. Furthermore, when the driver removes their left foot from the rear pedal 362 and returns the shift pedal 36 to its initial position, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 engages, and the power unit 30 outputs driving force based on the third speed. Similarly, whenever the driver depresses the rear pedal 362 downwards with their left foot and then returns the shift pedal 36 to its initial position, a downshift occurs from third speed to second speed to first speed. Moreover, when the driver depresses the rear pedal 362 downwards with their left foot in first speed, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 is disengaged, and the transmission mechanism shifts from first speed to neutral. When the driver removes their left foot from the rear pedal 362, returning the shift pedal 36 to its initial position, the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32 engages, but the transmission is in neutral, so no driving force is output from the power unit 30. Furthermore, when the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 is in motion, even if the driver presses the rear pedal 362 downwards with their left foot while the transmission is in neutral, no gear shifting operation occurs in the transmission. On the other hand, when the motorized two-wheeled vehicle 1 is parked, when the driver presses the rear pedal 362 downwards with their left foot while the transmission is in neutral, the transmission shifts from neutral to the highest gear.

[0130] Thus, the shift pedal 36 in this embodiment functions as an operating element for changing the gear of the transmission mechanism, and also functions as an operating element for operating the friction clutch of the clutch unit 32.

[0131] Furthermore, the right foot front holding part 82 is configured such that the front end part 82c is located in front of the front end part of the front pedal part 361 of the shift pedal 36, and the rear end part 82a is located in rear of the rear end part of the front pedal part 361 of the shift pedal 36.

[0132] In addition, the right foot holding part 82 is larger in the vehicle width direction than the front pedal part 361 of the shift pedal 36.

[0133] The above description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It is obvious that those skilled in the art will conceive of various modifications or alterations within the scope of the technical solution described, and it should be understood that these modifications and alterations also fall within the technical scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the constituent elements of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0134] For example, in this embodiment, the right foot rear retaining part 81 and the right foot front retaining part 82 are formed by different components, but the right foot rear retaining part 81 and the right foot front retaining part 82 may also be integrally formed by the same component.
