Claim:
1. A vehicle comprising: a body frame that leans to the right of the vehicle when the vehicle turns right and that leans to the left of the vehicle when the vehicle turns left; a right front wheel and a left front wheel that are aligned in a left-and-right direction of the body frame; a right suspension device that supports the right front wheel at a lower portion thereof to absorb an upward displacement of the right front wheel in an up-and-down direction of the body frame; a left suspension device that supports the left front wheel at a lower portion thereof 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; a steering shaft that is supported on the body frame between the right suspension device and the left suspension device in the left-and-right direction of the body frame that turns about a middle steering axis that extends in the up-and-down direction of the body frame; a handlebar that is provided at an upper end portion of the steering shaft; a wheel turning operation transmission mechanism that turns the right suspension device about the right steering axis and the left suspension device about the left steering axis as the steering shaft turns in response to the operation of the handlebar; a brake device that is provided below the link mechanism to apply a braking force to at least one of the right front wheel and the left front wheel; a brake controller that is provided above the link mechanism to control the brake device; and a brake controlling operation transmission member that connects the brake controller and the brake device together so as to transmit a brake controlling operation that is inputted into the brake controller to the brake device; wherein a restrictor that prevents a movement of the brake controlling operation transmission member is provided at an upper portion of at least one of the upper cross portion, the right side portion, and the left side portion; and the brake controlling operation transmission member includes a leaning associated deforming portion that is located between the brake controller and the restrictor to deform in response to the leaning of the body frame and a wheel turning associated deforming portion that is located between the leaning associated deforming portion and the brake device to deform in response to the turning of the right front wheel and the left front wheel.
