A two-wheeled vehicle is disclosed. The two-wheeled vehicle may include highway bars. The two-wheeled vehicle may include a steering axis which is tilted relative to a fork axis. The two-wheeled vehicle may be configured in a faring configuration and in a non-fairing configuration.

Two-wheeled vehicle

A utility vehicle is disclosed that may be used in multiple modes of use, such as a low speed transport vehicle or a golf cart. The vehicle has a rear passenger seat area which can be converted into a golf bag carrying mechanism. The vehicle also has a foot pedestal for use when operating with rear passengers, and which may fold up when not in use.

Low speed vehicle

A two-wheeled vehicle, a touring motorcycle, is disclosed. The touring motorcycle may include multiple fuel storage tanks arranged in a split side-by-side configuration. The touring motorcycle may include a rear suspension having a linkage which moves in a direction not parallel with a centerline plane of the motorcycle. The touring motorcycle may include a tip-over structure which prevents unwanted tip-over of the motorcycle.

Fuel tank arrangement for a vehicle

Rear suspension for a two wheeled vehicle

Methods and apparatus for decelerating and/or stopping a vehicle are disclosed. A vehicle in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention may include a first wheel, a second wheel, and a brake system capable of applying a first braking force to the first wheel and a second braking force to the second wheel such that a ratio of the second braking force to the first braking force is equal to a pre-selected braking force ratio. The vehicle may also include a second brake input mechanism capable of varying the ratio of the second braking force to the first braking force.

User interface for braking a vehicle

Methods and apparatus related to the suspension and braking of all terrain vehicles (ATVs) are disclosed. An ATV having a frame and a wheel carrier coupled to the frame by a suspension is provided. A suspension in accordance with the present invention preferably has a side view instant center axis which intersects a strategic region. Methods in accordance with the present invention may be used to define the boundaries of the strategic region.

Providing an enhanced ATV riding experience

Methods and apparatus related to the suspension and steering of all terrain vehicles (ATVs) are disclosed. An ATV having a frame and a wheel carrier for rotatably supporting a wheel is provided. A tie rod is coupled to the wheel carrier at an outer joint. An inner joint of the tie rod is preferably located in a desirable location. A method for identifying the desirable location may include the steps of defining a first reference plane associated with a full compression position of the suspension, defining a second reference plane associated with a full extension position of the suspension, identifying a reference line formed by an intersection of the first reference plane and the second reference plane, and selecting a location proximate the reference line as the desirable location for the inner joint.
