Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: a body frame including a headpipe; a right front wheel and a left front wheel disposed side by side in a left-and-right direction of the body frame; a right shock absorbing device supporting the right front wheel at a lower portion thereof and configured to absorb a displacement of the right front wheel in an up-and-down direction of the body frame with respect to an upper portion thereof; a left shock absorbing device supporting the left front wheel at a lower portion thereof and configured to absorb a displacement of the left front wheel in the up-and-down direction of the body frame with respect to an upper portion thereof; a link mechanism including: a steering shaft supported on the headpipe between the right side rod and the left side rod in the left-and-right direction of the body frame, and including an upper end portion above the lower axis which is a turning axis of the lower cross member in the up-and-down direction of the body frame, and is turnable with respect to the headpipe around an intermediate axis extending in the up-and-down direction of the body frame; a handlebar attached to the upper end portion of the steering shaft; a turning transmission mechanism configured to transfer a turning motion of the steering shaft corresponding to an operation of the handlebar to the right shock absorbing device and to the left shock absorbing device; and a resisting force changing mechanism configured to change a resisting force exerted against a turning operation of the upper cross member and the lower cross member with respect to the body frame; wherein the resisting force changing mechanism includes: a turning angle of the extended member relative to the first support portion resulting from a turning operation of the upper cross member and the lower cross member relative to the body frame is smaller than a turning angle of the upper cross member or a turning angle of the lower cross member relative to the body frame resulting from the turning operation.
