A motorcycle including an engine assembly that is resiliently supported by a
frame
assembly. First and second resilient mount assemblies resiliently couple rearward
and forward ends of the engine to the frame. A group of tie links, each extending
generally transversely to the frame, are arranged to reduce transverse movement
of the engine with respect to the frame, while allowing movement of the engine
in fore-aft and up-down directions with respect to the frame to isolate engine
vibrations. Each of the first and second mount assemblies includes a pair of substantially
identical resilient mounts. The resilient mounts are configured to have a limited
range of motion, thereby limiting the overall movement of the engine with respect
to the frame.
