Abstract
A vehicle includes a body frame that leans and two front wheels that prevent enlargement of a peripheral construction around a steering shaft above the two front wheels while maintaining a function of a link mechanism. An upper cross portion and a lower cross portion of the link mechanism each include a portion supported at a right end portion and a left end portion thereof and supported on a body frame at a middle portion thereof. The upper cross portion and the lower cross portion preferably have different volumes. Upper displacements that result when a rearward test force is exerted on an upper right bearing and an upper left bearing that support the upper cross portion with the lower cross portion removed, and lower displacements that result when a rearward test force is exerted on a lower right bearing and a lower left bearing that support the lower cross portion with the upper cross portion removed are equal or substantially equal.
