Claim 14:
15. A tiltable vehicle having a vehicle longitudinal axis, comprising:
(a) a central frame extending along the vehicle longitudinal axis;
(b) a front steering base assembled with the frame and having a central steering axis intersecting the vehicle longitudinal axis and defining therewith a plane perpendicular to a horizontal reference plane, and comprising a steering bore coaxial with the steering axis and traversing the entire length of the front steering base;
(c) right and left front wheels with a latitudinal wheel axis therebetween perpendicular to said plane, and at least one rear wheel;
(d) a front leaning wheel suspension system comprising
right and left parallel structures being spaced from each other and adapted to support at least indirectly, the respective right and left front wheels and operably connect the corresponding front wheel, separately from the other wheel and in a pivotable manner, to the front steering base, so as to enable common tilting and independent vertical displacement of said right and left front wheels,
a shock absorbing element interconnecting the right and left parallelogram structures and having a shock absorbing axis parallel to the latitudinal wheel axis and being spaced from the latitudinal wheel axis and the front steering base in a frontward direction; and

(e) a steering rod rotatably received within the entire length of said steering bore of the front steering base, such that tilting of said steering rod results in said suspension system being tilted together with said right and left wheels, respectively, and wherein rotation of the steering rod results in corresponding rotation of the right and left wheels.
