Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a motorcycle body structure, and particularly to a motorcycle body V4 structure that includes a side cover below the seat.

Conventionally, when setting up the main stand of a motorcycle, there are many types of motorcycles that are handled with one hand gripping the handle and the other hand gripping the body frame, etc., and the location and shape of the part gripped by the other hand is important. This was inconvenient when handling the car body because it was not fixed. In addition, especially for medium-sized and large-sized vehicles, some vehicles are equipped with a side grip below the rear seat for gripping with the other hand, but some vehicle models are equipped with a rear cowl, winker stay, etc. below the rear seat. Because some cars were unable to secure space for grips, the types of cars that could be equipped with side grips were limited.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a body structure for a motorcycle that can be applied to all types of vehicles equipped with a side cover below the seat and that allows easy handling of the body when the main stand is erected.

In order to achieve this object, the motorcycle according to the present invention has a configuration in which a side grip is provided between the bottom plate portion of the seat and the recess forming portion at the upper end of the side cover located below the bottom plate portion.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

1 to 3, the front ends of a main pipe 3 and a side vibe 4 are welded to a head pipe 2 which rotatably supports a handle 1, and these vibes 3.4 are attached to a bracket 6 at the rear end. are connected via. The front end of a back pipe 7 is welded to the middle of the main vibe 3, and this pipe 7 extends rearward approximately horizontally, and its rear part is supported by a back stay 8 connected to the main pipe 3 and side pipes 4 via a bracket 6. has been done.

Each pipe 3.4.7 except for the head pipe 2 and the backstay 8 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the head pipe 2, and together with the head pipe 2 constitute a vehicle body frame. A main stand 9 is attached to the vehicle body frame at a position close to the center of gravity of the vehicle body.

An engine 10 is housed within a framework formed by the main pipe 3 and the side pipe 4, and a fuel tank 11 is installed astride the main pipe 3 and the back pipe 7 above the engine 10. A seat 12 is provided behind the fuel tank 11 so as to be able to swing in a vertical plane around its front end, and is locked to the vehicle frame by a lock 11 (not shown) provided at its rear end. It has a so-called front and rear opening configuration. A side cover 13 is attached below the seat 12, and this cover 13 has, for example, three
The protrusions protruding from the locations and the grommets provided on the vehicle body frame are elastically fitted to each other, thereby making it possible to freely attach and detach the vehicle body frame.

A side grip 14 welded to the back pipe 7 is provided between the bottom plate portion of the seat 12 and the upper end of the side cover 13. According to this, the distance between the handle 1 and the side grip 14 is equal to the distance between the handle 1 and the side grip 14. Since the main stand 9 is located closer to the lower part of the rear seat than the conventional one, it is easier to handle when the main stand 9 is set up, especially for women and small people, and the side cover 13 protects the side grip 14 from mud and protects it. becomes. As shown in FIG. 3, a recess 13 is provided at the center of the upper end of the side cover 13 so that a hand can be easily inserted below the side grip 14.
a is formed. Top views of the mounting portion of the side grip 14 and the side cover 14 are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively.

A hook-shaped helmet holder 15 is integrally installed in the center of the side grip 14. After hanging the band fitting 16a of the helmet 16 on the helmet holder 15 with the seat 12 raised, the seat 12 is attached to the vehicle body. By locking the key to the helmet 16, the helmet 16 cannot be removed from the outside as shown in FIG.
This will help prevent theft. Furthermore, when the helmet 16 is held by the holder 15, the rider cannot ride because the helmet 16 gets in the way, so the rider must always remove the helmet 16 from the holder 15 and put it on before riding. This can also contribute to ensuring that the helmet 16 is worn by the person.

Note that the seat 12 is not limited to a structure that opens forward and backward, but may be a so-called seat that is pivotably supported on one side to the vehicle body frame and locked to the vehicle body frame on the other side. It may also be of a horizontal opening configuration.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the side grip is provided between the bottom plate of the seat and the concave portion forming part of the upper end of the side cover, regardless of whether there is a rear cowl, winker stay, etc. below the rear seat, In addition to making it possible to equip side grips on car models, the distance between the steering wheel and the side grips is shorter than in conventional models where the side grips were placed below the rear seat, making it easier to use as a main stand, especially for women and small people. This makes it easier to handle when standing up.
