A motorcycle of the usual basic configuration, having a pair of wheels in tandem with a motor therebetween connected by a basic frame which supports at least one rider's seat assembly and a steering assembly for steering the front wheel is surrounded by a cage assembly of high strength, light-weight tubing fastened to the frame and forming part of the frame. The steering assembly includes handlebars which are padded and mounted on a folding mechanism to move forwardly as the rider moves forwardly into contact with the handlebars upon front impact. The seat assembly is in the form of a padded "bucket" type seat with sides that extend partially around the rider's sides. A padded body restraint surrounds the front of the rider's torso and includes side portions which extend around into contact with the seat sides to completely surround the rider's torso.

A body covering covers the cage. At least one door is provided at the side of the rider. When fully open, the door extends outwardly in a manner such that the lower outer end of the door can engage the ground with the motorcycle tilted slightly in that direction to function as a sturdy, stable side stand. The seat assembly is in the form of a padded "bucket" type seat with sides that extend partially around the rider's sides.
