A front wheel suspension system for motorcycles wherein only one front shock absorber is provided and is arranged adjacent the upper part of the front surface of an upper fork. The shock absorber and at least one link mechanism forming a quadrilateral on the side are connected with each other through a rod functioning as a load transmitting member. The number of shock absorbers is thus reduced, the weight of the suspension system is reduced, the moment of inertia required to rotate the suspension system to the right and left is reduced, and the shock absorber is protected from being adversely affected by mud or the like.

A front wheel suspension system for motorcycles wherein at least one first link mechanism forming a quadrilateral on the side is formed by connecting an upper fork laterally pivotally connected to a vehicle body and a lower fork supporting a front wheel with each other through a front arm and a rear arm and wherein movement following the irregularities of a road surface of the front wheel with a deformation of the first link mechanism is absorbed and cushioned by at least one front shock absorber, wherein: only one said front shock absorber is provided; said shock absorber is disposed adjacent an upper part of a front surface of said upper fork; said first link mechanism and said shock absorber are connected with each other through at least one rod; and one arm of said front and rear arms includes a tip pivotally connected to the lower end of said rod, said tip being disposed on an extension of said one arm extending substantially beyond a pivotal connection between said one arm and said upper fork.
