Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided with a straddle type vehicle. A direction indicator is formed to project outward in a vehicle width direction and shows a traveling direction of the vehicle. A sensing device detects an obstacle around the vehicle using an ultrasonic wave. The sensing device is arranged in a distal end portion of the direction indicator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A motorcycle comprising: a direction indicator formed to project outward in a width direction of the motorcycle and configured to show a traveling direction of the motorcycle; and a sensing device configured to detect an obstacle around the motorcycle using an ultrasonic wave, wherein the sensing device is arranged in a distal end portion of the direction indicator, wherein the distal end portion of the direction indicator has a recess opened to the outside in the width direction or opened to the rear in a longitudinal direction of the motorcycle, wherein at least a part of the sensing device is provided in the recess, wherein the direction indicator has a hollow housing a light source, and wherein the motorcycle further comprises a vibration damping member interposed between the distal end portion and the sensing device. 2. The motorcycle according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of an inner wall of the recess extends outward in the width direction or backward in the longitudinal direction more than the sensing device. 3. The motorcycle according to claim 1 , further comprising: a fixing portion on a side of a main body of the motorcycle; and an elastic member interposed between the direction indicator and the fixing portion, wherein the elastic member has a communication portion configured to allow an inside and an outside of the direction indicator to communicate with each other. 4. The motorcycle according to claim 1 , wherein the direction indicator has a rod-shaped main body projecting outward in the width direction, and has a light source in the main body.
