Abstract
A motorcycle engine is disposed between the front and rear wheels of a motorcycle, and has a pair of cylinders. A front wheel suspension mechanism has a swing arm assembly extending forwardly, the front wheel being steerably supported on a front end of the swing arm assembly. The front wheel suspension mechanism has a damper or upper and lower arms disposed between the cylinders of the engine. Since the damper is positioned in the space between the engine cylinders, the damper may be of an increased length.
