    摘要: The present invention relates to a saddle-riding vehicle, preferably an endurance-type vehicle. The vehicle comprises a steering tube to which a steering assembly that controls a front wheel is rotatingly connected. The vehicle comprises a frame comprising a central part (12) to which is hinged a first end (8A) of a fork (8) which also comprises a second end (8B) rotatingly connected to a rear wheel (4). This frame also comprises a front part (15) extending between the steering tube (11) and said central part (12), wherein this front part (15) comprises a first frame side (15A) and a second frame side (15B) separated in the direction of the width of the vehicle and made of a first metallic material. The vehicle according to the invention is characterised in that it comprises at least a pair of connecting plates (16A-16B) wherein a first plate (16A) connects said engine assembly (2) to said first frame side (15A) and a second plate (16B) that connects said engine assembly (2) to said second frame side (15B). These plates (16A-16B) are made of a second metallic material having a modulus of elasticity lower than that of said first material constituting said frame sides (15A,15B) of said front part (15) of the frame (10).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a saddle riding vehicle, preferably enduro. The vehicle comprises steering tube to which a steering assembly which controls a front wheel is rotatably connected. Saddle riding vehicle (1) comprises a motor assembly (2) and a frame to which said motor assembly (2) is connected; said vehicle (1) comprises a tank (7) supported by said frame. Such a tank comprises an upper section (71) in a position proximal to said steering tube (11), wherein said upper section (71) comprises two side portions (71A, 71B) spaced apart in the width direction and each of which extends in a position outside a corresponding frame front side. The tank also comprises a central section (72), communicating with the upper section (71), and which extends towards said rear wheel (4) according to the profile of said front part of said frame. The tank (7) further comprises a lower section (73), communicating with said central section (72), which is comprised between the rear sides (18A, 18B) of the frame.
