Upper and lower front swing arms [19, 20] extend horizontally and forwardly from the motorcycle body [4, 2] substantially parallel to each other, the front wheel [23] being operatively supported on front portions of the upper and lower front swing arms [19, 20]. The upper and lower front swing arms [19, 20] have rear portions [19a, 19b, 20a, 20b] pivotally mounted on the motorcycle body [4, 2] for vertical swinging movement with respect thereto. The rear portions [19a, 19b] of the upper front swing arm [19] are pivotally mounted on the motorcycle body [4, 2] within the space [S].
