A motorcycle having a frame with front and rear wheels thereon, and an engine supported between the wheels. A driver\s seat is mounted on the frame between the engine and above the rear wheels. The seat is supported by a hinge connection to the frame to be movable between a raised position lin which equipment located under the seat is accessible and a lowered driving position. A resilient member, such as a fluid damper, is connected between the seat and the frame so as to be energized when the seat is lowered and to apply lift force to the seat in a subsequent opening operation. The hinge connection is movable between a forward and a rearward position, and in the forward position the seat is held in its lowered position, whereas when the hinge connection is moved to the rearward position, it is released for being moved to its raised position. A grip member is secured to the seat and to a depending cover thereon and supports elements of the releasable holding system of the seat with the frame.
