Claim:
1. A step structure for a saddle-type vehicle, said step structure comprising: a step-support bracket that is provided on a vehicle body of the saddle-type vehicle; a rotor that is rotatably retained by the step-support bracket, the rotor extending in a vehicle width direction and having a step-receiving aperture formed therein which is offset with respect to a rotational center of the rotor; the step-support bracket comprising a pair of clamp members that are provided to sandwich the rotor from both sides thereof in a radial direction of the rotor; a fastening member engaged with the step-support bracket and that is configured to be tightened to move the clamp members toward each other; a mounting member support part configured to selectively engage a mounting member detachably mounted on a rear side of vehicle body for restricting movement of the mounting member inwardly of the vehicle, and a step that has a support shaft extending in the vehicle width direction and inserted into the step-receiving aperture, and a step body projecting outward from the support shaft in the vehicle width direction, wherein the clamp members non-rotatably fix a position of the rotor when they are urged toward one another by the fastening member, and wherein the rotor is configured such that when the position of the rotor is fixed by tightening the fastening member, a position of the support shaft of the step is also non-rotatably fixed in the step-receiving aperture, and when the fastening member is loosened and the rotor is released, the step supported by the step-receiving aperture is pivotally adjustable by moving the step around the support shaft, wherein the mounting member support part is rotatably adjustable between a storage state thereof, where the mounting member support part is stored in a position overlapping with the step-support bracket in a side view, and an extended state thereof, where the mounting member support part projects from the step-support bracket in side view and restricts the mounting member from moving inwardly of the vehicle.
