Abstract
A divided seat for a motor vehicle, especially for a motorcycle, is described in which both seat parts are removable and mountable independently of one another. Mounting is accomplished by a central locking mechanism controlled by a central lock. With the seat part for the passenger removed, the part of the vehicle body located below is used as an elongated luggage rack or storage area. This storage area can be provided with a cover that closes a container located beneath for tools and the like. A separate locking block permits locking this cover when the seat part is removed, likewise using the central lock.
