Leaning vehicle

A leaning vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body frame including a main framework part;
• a seat supported by the vehicle body frame and being configured for a driver of the leaning vehicle to be seated thereon;
• a left step and a right step supported by the vehicle body frame, and each having an upper surface for a foot of the driver to be placed thereon;
• a left front wheel located at a left side of the vehicle body frame;
• a right front wheel located at a right side of the vehicle body frame;
• at least one rear wheel;
• a leaning linkage mechanism configured to support the vehicle body frame, the left front wheel, and the right front wheel, such that the vehicle body frame, the left front wheel, and the right front wheel are leanable leftward or rightward, the leaning linkage mechanism including
• a left swing arm swingably supporting the left front wheel, the left swing arm being connected to the vehicle body frame via a left support part, and
• a right swing arm swingably supporting the right front wheel, the right swing arm being connected to the vehicle body frame via a right support part;
• and
• a buffer device configured to buffer movement of the left front wheel and the right front wheel, wherein
• the leaning vehicle leans the vehicle body frame, the left front wheel, the right front wheel, and the at least one rear wheel leftward and rightward when turning left and right, respectively;
• the main framework part includes a main-framework-front portion that
• is located further forward than a center of the left step and a center of the right step in a front-rear direction of the leaning vehicle, and extends linearly in the front-rear direction,
• has a dimension, in a width direction of the leaning vehicle, larger than a distance between the left support part and the right support part;
• the vehicle body frame supports entire parts of the left support part and the right support part of the leaning linkage mechanism at a position further downward than at least a part of the upper surface of the left step and of the upper surface of the right step in a top-bottom direction with respect to the leaning vehicle;
• and
• the entire main-framework-front portion is located further downward than at least the part of the upper surface of the left step and the part of the upper surface of the right step.
