A space is secured inside left and right pivot plates and a space is
secured in front of a rear wheel to increase flexibility in design. In a
motorcycle including left and right pivot plates provided at the rear
portion of main pipes, a swing arm is provided on pivots so as to be
capable of moving in the vertical direction. Only one rear suspension is
interposed between the swing arm and the main pipe that is disposed
outside the pivot plate in the direction of the width of the vehicle. A
lower end of the rear suspension is connected to an upper surface of an
arm portion of the swing arm. The rear suspension is mounted to one of
the main pipe so as to extend continuously from the main pipe and
substantially linearly in the direction of the length of the vehicle in a
top view.
