Abstract
The present invention provides for a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, that is capable of sufficiently absorbing shock applied in the vehicle width direction due to uneven terrain, such as bumps and potholes, on the ground or road during turns. The vehicle, such as the motorcycle, includes a head pipe for supporting a front wheel, a main frame for supporting a rear wheel to which the head pipe is attached for rotation about a torsion axis of a shaft part extending longitudinally, and a torsion spring for absorbing shock as the head pipe rotates with respect to the main frame.
