A vehicle body frame structure of a straddle-type vehicle comprises a head pipe into which a steering shaft connected to a handle is inserted; and a pair of main frames extending rearward and outward in a vehicle width direction from the head pipe in such a manner that the main frames are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction. Each of the main frames includes an upper frame extending rearward from an upper portion of the head pipe, and a lower frame extending rearward from a lower portion of the head pipe. Between the upper frame and the lower frame, a retraction space which is located inward in the vehicle width direction relative to an end portion of the handle in a turn operation state is provided.

1. A vehicle body frame structure of a straddle vehicle, the vehicle body frame structure comprising: a head pipe into which a steering shaft connected to a handle is inserted; anda pair of main frames extending rearward and outward in a vehicle width direction from the head pipe in such a manner that the main frames are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction,wherein each of the main frames includes an upper frame extending rearward from an upper portion of the head pipe, and a lower frame extending rearward from a lower portion of the head pipe,wherein the upper frame includes a first portion that extends rearward from the head pipe and is inclined outward in the vehicle width direction in a plan view and a second portion that extends rearward from the first portion and is more inclined outward in the vehicle width direction than the first portion in a plan view, andwherein between the second portion of the upper frame and the lower frame, a handle retraction space which is located inward in the vehicle width direction relative to an end portion of the handle in a turn operation state is provided. 2. A vehicle body frame structure of a straddle vehicle, the vehicle body frame structure comprising: a head pipe into which a steering shaft connected to a handle is inserted; anda pair of main frames extending rearward and outward in a vehicle width direction from the head pipe in such a manner that the main frames are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction,wherein each of the main frames includes an upper frame extending rearward from an upper portion of the head pipe, and a lower frame extending rearward from a lower portion of the head pipe,wherein between the upper frame and the lower frame, a handle retraction space that is located inward in the vehicle width direction relative to an end portion of the handle in a turn operation state is provided, andwherein the upper frame extends in a vehicle length direction in such a manner that the upper frame protrudes farther upward than a virtual flat plane extending through a connection portion of the upper frame and the head pipe and being perpendicular to a rotational axis of the steering shaft. 3. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, comprising: a coupling frame for coupling the upper frame to the lower frame in a vehicle length direction,wherein the coupling frame is placed at a location at which the coupling frame does not interfere with the retraction space. 4. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein a portion of the upper frame which is adjacent to the retraction space is located closer to a center of a vehicle body in the vehicle width direction than a portion of the lower frame which is adjacent to the retraction space is. 5. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein each of the main frames includes a trellis section extending continuously from the head pipe and a non-trellis section extending rearward from the trellis section,wherein the trellis section includes the upper frame, the lower frame, and a coupling frame for coupling the upper frame to the lower frame, andwherein the non-trellis section extends linearly continuously from the upper frame. 6. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 5, wherein a device is placed below the non-trellis section and protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction from the non-trellis section. 7. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 6, wherein the device is an air-intake duct placed to extend from a region which is outside the main frame to a region which is inside the main frame. 8. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 6, wherein the device is a supercharger unit which is placed below the upper frame and partially protrudes from the region which is inside the main frame to the region which is outside the main frame. 9. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein terminal ends of first frames, each of which is one of the upper frame and the lower frame, are located in front of terminal ends of second frames, each of which is the other of the upper frame and the lower frame, andwherein a device is placed in a space which is formed between the second frames in the vehicle width direction and located rearward relative to the terminal ends of the first frames. 10. A vehicle body frame structure of a straddle vehicle, the vehicle body frame structure comprising: a head pipe into which a steering shaft connected to a handle is inserted; and a pair of main frames extending rearward and outward in a vehicle width direction from the head pipe in such a manner that the main frames are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction, wherein an upper surface of each of the main frames protrudes farther upward than a virtual flat plane, from a front end of the upper surface of the main frame toward a rear end of the upper surface of the main frame, the virtual flat plane extending through a connection portion of the upper surface of the main frame and the head pipe and being perpendicular to a rotational axis of the head pipe, andwherein an outer portion in the vehicle width direction, of an outer surface of each of the main frames, is formed with a handle retraction space which is located inward in the vehicle width direction, relative to an end portion of the handle in a turn operation state. 11. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the end portion of the handle in the turn operation state is located below the upper frame. 12. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the lower frame is placed outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the upper frame. 13. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein each of the main frames includes a plurality of coupling frames for vertically coupling the upper frame to the lower frame,wherein the plurality of coupling frames are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a forward and rearward direction, andwherein the retraction space is provided at a location where the lower frame is located outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the upper frame and the plurality of coupling frames are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the forward and rearward direction. 14. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the end portion of the handle in the turn operation state is placed between the upper frame and the lower frame when viewed from a side. 15. The vehicle body frame structure of the straddle vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the end portion of the handle in a neutral position overlaps with the pair of main frames when viewed from a side. 16.
