Motorcycle

Abstract

A motorcycle (1), comprising a steering shaft (8), a vehicle body frame (6) extending from the steering shaft (8) rearward, a seat (21) supported on the vehicle body frame (6), a fuel tank (20) disposed between the steering shaft (8) and the seat (21), a rear arm (23) pivotally supported on the vehicle body frame (6) at the front end and supporting a rear wheel (24) by the rear end, a pair of right and left rear cushions (25) supporting the rear arm (23) on the vehicle body frame (6), a tail light (37) having a brake light part and a winker light part and disposed on the rear side of a vehicle body, and a tail cover (35) covering at least the end parts of the tail light (37) in the vehicle lateral direction and the upper end parts of the pair of rear cushions (25) fitted to the outsides of the vehicle body frame (6). The dimension (L1) of the tail light (37) in the vehicle lateral direction is larger than the minimum distance (L10) of the pair of rear cushions (25) in the vehicle lateral direction, and smaller than the maximum dimension (L20) of the fuel tank (20) in the vehicle lateral direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic two-wheel vehicle with a tail light at the rear. Background technique [0002] In conventional motorcycles, tail lights are arranged at the rear, and tail covers are provided to cover the tail lights (for example, JP-A-2002-193160 and JP-A-2003-72624). [0003] However, in order to improve the visibility of the tail lights, it is conceivable to increase the size of the tail lights in the vehicle width direction of the motorcycle (hereinafter referred to as "tail light width"). Since the width of the tail light is increased, the driver of the following automatic car or the rider of the following automatic two-wheeled vehicle can easily recognize the tail light. [0004] However, in a straddle type motorcycle with a fuel tank behind the handle and a seat behind the fuel tank, if the width of the tail lights is too wide, the tail covers that cover the tail lights from the left and right protrude in the vehicle width ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in a straddle type motorcycle with a fuel tank behind the handle and a seat behind the fuel tank, if the width of the tail lights is too wide, the tail covers that cover the tail lights from the left and right protrude in the vehicle width direction, and the rider should get up and down. The comfort of getting on and off the automatic two-wheeler is reduced

For example, when the rider raises his legs to step on a straddle-type automatic two-wheeler, he is hindered by the taillights.

[0005] Also, when the width of the tail light is too wide, if the tail light and the tail cover protrude in the vehicle width direction, the aerodynamic characteristics of the motorcycle will decrease
