Patent number: 8366169Abstract: A motorcycle includes an article storage structure and has a storage space for storing articles. The storage space is defined by a rear fender covering a rear wheel, a frame cover covering a rear portion of a motorcycle body, and a rider's seat and a passenger seat which are arranged in tandem in a longitudinal direction of the motorcycle. The storage space is provided with an onboard auxiliary machinery storage compartment for storing the onboard auxiliary machinery and an article storage compartment for storing the articles, which are formed with openings formed below the rider's seat and the passenger seat, respectively, to be opened or closed. An article holding member having a tubular shape, in which the article is stored, and having an upper end opening disposed within the article storage compartment is also disposed so as to extend rearward and upward from an upper surface of the rear fender below the rider's seat to a region of the article storage compartment.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Suzuki Motor CorporationInventor: Yasuhiro Shigeta

Patent number: 8237543Abstract: An electronic authentication system includes a vehicle-side control unit that judges whether ID information of an electronic key is identical to vehicle-side ID information, an ignition switch unit that permits engine starting operation and handle unlocking operation on the basis of the identity of the ID information of the electronic key to the vehicle-side ID information, and an actuator that unlocks an opening and closing lid such as a accommodation box lid. These component members are attached and fixed to a leg shield (an inner leg shield) and modularized. These members are preassembled into the inner leg shield and modularized like this, whereby the assembling work into the vehicle becomes very easy and it is possible to make the assembling work efficient to a great extent.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2007Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Suzuki Motor CorporationInventors: Yuji Umeda, Yasuhiro Shigeta, Tsuyoshi Nakamura
