SADDLE-RIDING TYPE VEHICLE

To provide a saddle-riding type vehicle configured so that when external force is applied from a front side and a rear side of the saddle-riding type vehicle, loads can be prevented from being directly transmitted to a roof and pillars.SOLUTION: A saddle-riding type vehicle (1), which is equipped with a roof (3) provided above a seat (18) and a pair of left and right pillars (27) supporting the roof (3) from below, further comprises a pillar upper part (31) mounted on a bottom part of the roof (3) and connection members (30 and 40) connecting an upper end part of the pillar (27) to a lower end part of the pillar upper part (31). In a side view of a vehicle body, a center shaft (C1) of the pillar upper part (31) is offset to a front side with respect to a center shaft (C2) of the pillar (27). The connection members (30 and 40) have longitudinal lengths which are equivalent to a longitudinal length of the pillar upper part (31) at a connected part to the pillar upper part (31), in the side view of the vehicle body, and have wedge shapes in which the longitudinal lengths thereof gradually reduce as going downward. The connection members (30 and 40) are constituted of plate members formed in bent shapes opened downward in a back view of the vehicle body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】鞍乗型車両の前方や後方から外力が加わった際に、ルーフや支柱に荷重がそのまま伝達されることを防ぐことができる鞍乗型車両を提供する。【解決手段】シート（１８）の上方に設けられたルーフ（３）と、該ルーフ（３）を下方から支持する左右一対の支柱（２７）とを備える鞍乗型車両（１）において、ルーフ（３）の底部に取り付けられる柱上部（３１）と、支柱（２７）の上端部と前記柱上部（３１）の下端部とを連結する連結部材（３０，４０）とを備える。車体側面視で、柱上部（３１）の中心軸（Ｃ１）が、支柱（２７）の中心軸（Ｃ２）より前方側にオフセットする。連結部材（３０，４０）が、車体側面視で、柱上部（３１）との接続部分で柱上部（３１）と同等の前後長を有すると共に、下方に向かうにつれて前後長が短くなるくさび形状を有する。連結部材（３０，４０）を、車体背面視で、下向きに開放された屈曲形状をなす板部材で構成する。【選択図】図７
