An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) includes a frame and a pair of front and rear wheels
suspended from the frame. A straddle-type seat has a main portion and a secondary
portion to accommodate a driver and a passenger. The wheelbase of the ATV is increased
in length (compared to conventional ATVs) so as to increase stability and comfort
for the driver, and/or to accommodate a passenger behind the driver. The passenger
and secondary seat portion are disposed in front of the rear wheel axis and moved
closer to the center of the wheelbase. Moreover, the combined center or gravity
of the ATV, rider, and passenger is moved closer to the center of the wheelbase
to improve stability, comfort and/or safety. The driver and passenger each have
sufficient space to actively position themselves without significantly interfering
with each other.
