Abstract
A main stand structure including a pivot tube mounted on an engine by a pivot shaft and left and right legs. The left leg extends from a first point that is spaced a predetermined distance to the left from a vehicle body center on the pivot tube, and the right leg has an upper end joined to a portion of the left leg. A reinforcement member extends from a portion of the right leg substantially parallel to the left leg, and has an end joined to the pivot tube at a second point which is in substantially symmetrical relationship to the first point with respect to the vehicle body center. The reinforcement member and the right leg jointly make up a V-shaped portion which allows exhaust pipes to extend.
