摘要： A motorcycle frame and body cover arrangement that provides a very neat appearance as well as good riding posture for the rider/operator and a co-rider and also for its good leg positioning when the vehicle is stationary. The body cover covers the major portions of the frame and engine assembly but leaves the crankcase of the engine exposed for cooling and to improve the foot area. Also, the body cover pieces are arranged so as to permit changes in styling details. Portions of the body that carry weight are supported by the frame by a sub-frame that encircles the head pipe. Also, the body configuration and seating arrangement is such that a rider can be comfortably seated behind the operator and his feet will be positioned well clear of the muffler and other running components while still maintaining a comfortable position.
