Abstract
A steering damper device having a cylindrical damper disposed between a steering side member and a vehicle body side member, wherein said cylindrical damper includes a damper casing and a damper rod which is slidably displaced in the damper casing. The amount of slidable displacement of the damper rod with respect to a steering angle of the handlebar is small when the steering angle of the handlebar is near 0° and the amount of slidable displacement is larger as the steering angle is progressively changed from 0°. The damping coefficient of the cylindrical damper is large when the steering angle of the handlebar is near 0° and the damping coefficient is smaller when the steering angle is progressively changed from 0°.
