Abstract

The present invention is directed towards a motorcycle (100) for off-road use with an improved engine (114), frame (112), and fuel tank (118). The frame (112) in one embodiment includes a movable engine frame (134) below the main frame (128) which is pivotally attached to the main frame (128) at one end and detachably attached to the main frame (128) at the other end. The engine frame (134) supports the engine (114) thereon and allows access to the engine (114) when the engine frame (134) is detached from the main frame (128). This also allows the engine frame (134) to support the engine (114) during inspection. In another embodiment, the frame includes a swing arm (46) pivotally attached to the main frame (128) and a shock (204) that is pivotally attached to the main frame (128) and the swing arm (46).
