The assemblies have suspension arm portions connected operatively at their middle points to the lower end of a shock absorber, and rear end portions disposed at a higher and/or inner position than front end portion thereof. The main frame has a pair of lower tubes connected rigidly with a corresponding pair of upper tubes by way of connecting members.
