Abstract
A motorcycle rear wheel suspension device is disclosed which the damper for the pivotally-connected swing arm mounting the rear wheel derives additional support from the auxiliary frame. The auxiliary frame is connected at one end with the damper and with the motorcycle body frame and at its other end to another position on the vehicle. By means of the organization the damper loading to the vehicle frame is advantageously distributed so that supporting frame members of reduced size and weight can be employed.
