Abstract
A two-wheeled vehicle having a front end portion of a rear suspension attached to an upper part of a body frame. A reduction in weight and cost of the body frame is attained while permitting a fuel tank and a seat to be set at respective optimum heights without changing their shapes and sizes. In the body frame, a pair of right and left main frames are extended backwards and downwards from a head pipe, expanded portions are formed locally upward from straight portions of the main frames as seen from the side, and a cross member is mounted between the expanded portions. A front end portion of a rear suspension is attached to a vertical center of a rear side of the cross member and the rear suspension is extended substantially in parallel with the straight portions.
