ABSTRACT:
A body frame for a vehicle includes a head pipe on which a front fork is mounted for permitting a turning movement. A box-shaped box frame portion extends obliquely rearward and downwards from the head pipe. A twin tube portion extends obliquely downward and rearward on the left and right sides from a rear end of the box frame portion. The twin tube portion has a smaller width than the width of the box frame portion. A rear frame portion extending obliquely rearward and downward from the rear ends of the twin tube portion has a greater width than the width of the twin tube portion. Accordingly, the body frame can be formed such that it has a high rigidity in the proximity of the head pipe but has a low rigidity at a central portion of the body. Accordingly, a load transmitted from the road surface to the head pipe through the front wheel and the box frame portion can support the front fork. Further, since the rear frame portion is formed with an increased width, twisting of the swing arm can be reduced the steering of the vehicle is improved.
