Abstract

A windshield for motorbikes which can be variably positioned at various angles of inclination on the motorbike by a holding device (6) and a drive device (8). The drive device (8) has a cable or a cable pull connection (22, 23, 24, 25) between a drive motor (26) of the drive device (8) and a support element (16) for the adjustable windshield. The holding device (6) can also be formed by two non-parallel guides (11, 19) for varying the position of the windshield (3) in terms of height and/or inclination, when it is moved along the guides (13, 19). The first guide (11) is fixed to the vehicle and the second guiding mechanism (19) is arranged on the windshield (3). A driveable carriage (12) which is connected to a support element (16) for the adjustable windshield and is situated on the first guide (11) engages a part (18) which is fixed to the vehicle and is situated on the second guide (19).
