Patent number: 9834268Abstract: A saddle-ride type vehicle is capable of achieving miniaturization of a front cowl while ensuring a flow rate of air introduction. An opening penetrating through a longitudinal direction of a vehicle is formed below the center in a height direction of a vertically long windshield. First traveling air is passed through the opening formed in the windshield. A direction of the first traveling air is then changed by a guide member, and is moved upward along a back surface of the windshield. Excessive vacuum on the back surface of the windshield is corrected. Since an opening is formed in the windshield, it is not necessary to increase a width of the front cowl, and miniaturization of the front cowl can be achieved. Since the windshield is formed as a vertically long windshield, the opening can be formed to be vertically long, and an opening area can be ensured.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Gen Tanabe, Satoshi Seo, Akihiro Komatsu, Takefumi Okubo, Masao Akieda

Patent number: 9714063Abstract: A saddle-ride type vehicle includes a front cowl capable of improving appearance quality while suppressing enlargement of the front cowl. Recessed parts recessed rearwardly of a vehicle are formed in front cowls in positions outwardly of front members in a vehicle width direction. The introduction port is formed in the recessed part. The recessed parts are recessed rearwardly of the vehicle beyond tangents brought into contact with the front members and the front cowls. Since guide walls are arranged within a range viewed from introduction ports in a front view, such a possibility that wiring or the like in a front cowl is viewed through the introduction ports in the front view is precluded Immediately behind the introduction ports, air is guided in a desired direction by the guide walls. For this reason, a limited amount of air can be effectively utilized.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Satoshi Seo, Gen Tanabe, Akihiro Komatsu, Takefumi Okubo, Masao Akieda
