Abstract
A fuel tank support structure for a saddle-type vehicle includes a head pipe which steerably supports a front wheel, a main frame section extending rearwardly and downwardly from the head pipe, and a pair of left and right lower frame sections extending substantially horizontally rearwardly from a lower portion of the main frame section. A fuel tank is disposed in back of the main frame section and between the lower frame sections, and a step floor is disposed over the fuel tank. In the fuel tank support structure, floor support members are disposed under the step floor as support members. The floor support members are disposed in a left-right pair on the outer sides relative to the lower frame sections. The fuel tank is supported by the floor support members. The lower frame sections are disposed so that their lower edges extend along a lower surface of the fuel tank.
