DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scooter- type motorcycle having a luggage storage box such as a basket at the front of a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional scooter- type motorcycle of this type, a basket is disposed in front of a cover that covers a head pipe.

[0003] The cover is formed such that the front wall gradually protrudes forward from the lower part of the handle, and the basket is provided along the inclined front wall. In addition, a headlight is disposed on the handle.

[0004]

However, the conventional scooter- type motorcycle described above has a problem that the storage capacity of the basket is small. This is because, since the basket is mounted along the front wall of the cover that is inclined forward and downward, the width of the opening becomes gradually narrower downward from the upper luggage doorway.

If the storage capacity is increased simply by increasing the size of the basket, the center of gravity of the luggage will move away from the center of gravity of the vehicle.

In addition, since the headlight is located above the basket, the upper edge of the loaded luggage is also restricted by this.

[0007]

A scooter-type motorcycle according to the present invention has a steering shaft having a handle fixed to an upper end rotatably supported by a head pipe, and an upper end of a front fork supporting a front wheel. The head pipe is fixed to the lower end of the steering shaft, the periphery of the head pipe is covered with a vehicle body cover, and the front portion of the vehicle body cover extends forward as it goes downward so as to cover above the front wheels. In a scooter-type motorcycle provided with a luggage storage box that opens forward and upward, a rear portion of the luggage storage box extends inside the vehicle body cover, and a rear wall of the luggage storage box is used as a head pipe. The headlight is formed so as to extend substantially parallel to the head pipe in a side view, and a headlight is provided below a front bottom portion of the luggage storage box. The front wall of the box is extended upward and inclined, and the bottom wall of the luggage storage box is extended rearward from the headlight from a connection portion with the front wall, and the body cover of the vehicle body cover is extended from the lower front side of the headlight. The lower front wall is formed by inclining forward and downward.

[0008]

A part of the inner space of the vehicle body cover is used as a luggage storage space, and the luggage storage box is moved to the head pipe. Headlights are positioned below the luggage. Further, despite the structure in which the headlights are arranged at a low position, the light of the headlights is not blocked by the front wall of the luggage storage box and the lower front wall of the vehicle body cover. By inclining the front wall of the luggage storage box so as not to block the light, the opening at the upper end is widened and luggage can be easily taken in and out. Moreover, since the luggage storage space is widened by utilizing the space behind the headlight, a large-capacity luggage storage box can be formed. Further, by inclining the lower front wall of the vehicle body cover so as not to block light, muddy water or the like jumped up by the front wheels can be prevented from hitting the headlights.
