Abstract
A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly, a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame assembly, and a cooling assembly positioned below a head portion of the frame assembly and intermediate vertically-extending frame tubes of the frame assembly. A lower end of the cooling assembly is coupled to a lower end of the vertically-extending frame tubes, and an upper end of the cooling assembly is frictionally retained at an upper end of each of the vertically-extending frame tubes.

A two-wheeled vehicle, comprising:
- a frame assembly including:
- a front frame portion including a head portion, a plurality of generally vertically-extending frame members, and a plurality of generally longitudinally-extending frame members;
- a mid-frame portion removably coupled to the front frame portion;
- and
- a rear frame portion removably coupled to the mid-frame portion;
- a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame assembly;
- and
- a cooling assembly positioned below the head portion and intermediate the vertically-extending frame members, a lower end of the cooling assembly being coupled to a lower end of the vertically-extending frame members, and an upper end of the cooling assembly being frictionally retained at an upper end of each of the vertically-extending frame members.
