Claim Text:
1. A vehicle comprising: a body frame that leans to a right when the vehicle turns right and that leans to a left when the vehicle turns left; a steerable right front wheel and left front wheel that are aligned in a left-and-right direction of the body frame; a right shock absorbing device that supports the right front wheel at a lower portion thereof so as to absorb an upward displacement of the right front wheel in an up-and-down direction of the body frame; a left shock absorbing device that supports the left front wheel at a lower portion thereof so as to absorb an upward displacement of the left front wheel in the up-and-down direction of the body frame; a link mechanism including: a body cover that covers at least a portion of the link mechanism; and a right lamp and a left lamp that are aligned in the left-and-right direction of the body frame, the right lamp including a right light source and the left lamp including a left light source; wherein the right lamp includes a right link side portion that is located behind a front end portion of the link mechanism that is located above the upper middle axis in the up-and-down direction of the body frame and ahead of a rear end portion of the link mechanism that is located above the upper middle axis in the up-and-down direction of the body frame, in a side view of the vehicle in an upright state; the right link side portion is located on the right of a locus along which the link mechanism extends when the upper cross portion turns relative to the body frame in relation to the left-and-right direction of the body frame, when looking at the vehicle in the upright state from the front of the upper middle axis; at least a portion of the right link side portion is located on the left of a right end portion of the body cover in the left-and-right direction of the body frame, above the upper middle axis in the up-and-down direction of the body frame, and below an upper end portion of the link mechanism in relation to the up-and-down direction of the body frame that results when the upper cross portion turns clockwise to a maximum extent relative to the body frame, when looking at the vehicle in the upright state from the front of the upper middle axis; the left lamp includes a left link side portion that is located behind the front end portion of the link mechanism that is located above the upper middle axis in the up-and-down direction of the body frame and ahead of the rear end portion of the link mechanism that is located above the upper middle axis in the up-and-down direction of the body frame in relation to the direction of the upper middle axis, in the side view of the vehicle in the upright state; the left link side portion is located on the left of a locus along which the link mechanism extends when the upper cross portion turns relative to the body frame in the left-and-right direction of the body frame, when looking at the vehicle in the upright state from the front of the upper middle axis; and at least a portion of the left link side portion is located on the right of a left end portion of the body cover in the left-and-right direction of the body frame, above the upper middle axis in the up-and-down direction of the body frame, and below an upper end portion of the link mechanism in relation to the up-and-down direction of the body frame that results when the upper cross portion turns counterclockwise to a maximum extent relative to the body frame, when looking at the vehicle in the upright state from the front of the upper middle axis.
