Headlight for motor vehicle

An illumination device for a single-track motor vehicle, the vehicle having a longitudinal vehicle midplane, the device emitting bundled light in the form of a light beam bundle which in a first propagation direction is directed at a roadway area located in front of the motor vehicle, whereby the illumination device comprises:

• a light module that emits light in a second propagation direction and where, in a beam path of the light emitted from the light module, there is arranged at least a first optical reflection device having a reflecting surface, and where the light emitted by the light module, first falls upon the optical reflection device and then is deflected by the latter into the first propagation direction, and
• the entire first optical reflection device can be swung around a first swing axis, where the first swing axis is essentially positioned in a plane that extends parallel to the longitudinal vehicle midplane or that is the longitudinal vehicle midplane.
