  • Patent number: 11958561
    Abstract: A straddled vehicle having a body frame including a head pipe, a front cover disposed in front of the head pipe, a duct disposed in front of the head pipe and extending rearward from an opening in the front cover, to thereby form a traveling wind pathway for traveling wind taken in through the opening, and an aero-stabilizing member. The aero-stabilizing member includes a middle portion disposed below a lower distal end of the front cover, directly below the opening in a front view, a lateral portion extending from the middle portion to a more outer side than the opening in a width direction, apart from the front cover with a gap therebetween in an up-and-down direction, and a front edge slanted forward and downward from the middle portion and the lateral portion, the front edge being partially disposed further forward than a lower front end of the duct.
