TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention mainly relates to a straddle vehicle including a sensor.

BACKGROUND ART

Patent Literature 1 (PTL 1) discloses a motorcycle including an obstruction detection device (sensor) that senses the rear side by using ultrasonic waves, radar waves, or the like. The obstruction detection device is externally attached to an upper surface of a rear cowl (rear covering) of the motorcycle.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

The configuration of PTL 1, in which the obstruction detection device is externally attached to the rear cowl, leads to upsizing of a vehicle body. This issue is present not only in motorcycles but also in other straddle vehicles.

The present invention relates to a straddle vehicle to which a sensor is attached with prevention or suppression of upsizing of a vehicle body.

Solution to Problem

The problem to be solved by the present invention is as above. The following describes solutions to the problem as well as advantageous effects thereof.

An aspect of the present invention provides a straddle vehicle having the following configuration. The straddle vehicle includes a tail lamp, a rear covering, a rear end component, a rear stay, and a sensor. The tail lamp emits light toward the rear side. The rear covering is provided with the tail lamp. The rear end component is disposed more rearward than the rear covering. The rear stay extends at least rearward from a connecting portion connected to the rear covering, and supports the rear end component. The sensor is at least partially received in an internal space that is formed either in the rear covering or in the rear stay, and senses an object rearward.

Since the sensor is received in the internal space of the rear covering or of the rear stay, upsizing of a vehicle body can be prevented or reduced as compared to a configuration in which the sensor is attached to the outside of an exterior component such as the rear covering and the rear stay.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

The present invention can allow a sensor to be attached to a straddle vehicle, with prevention or suppression of upsizing of a vehicle body.
