ABSTRACT:
A rear suspension system for a motorcycle having a progressive damping characteristic. The rear suspension system includes a rear wheel support member having a truss structure including a front corner portion pivotally supported on a motorcycle body frame, a rear corner portion having a rear wheel supported thereon, and an upwardly closing top corner portion. Two link members are each pivotally supported on the body frame and are connected to each other, and a shock absorber is interposed between one of the two link members and the body frame. In accordance with such system, the unsprung load can be reduced to a relatively low level, and at the same time the degree of a progressive change of the damping force can be set to be relatively large.
