  "textContent": "A motorcycle tire is provided with a tread pattern made up of circumferentially alternately arranged first and second pattern units. The first pattern unit is substantially mirror symmetrical with the second pattern unit. Each pattern unit comprises a main oblique groove and first and second auxiliary oblique grooves, each of which is a bent groove having a bent position and composed of a steeply-inclined part and a mildly-inclined part. In the main oblique groove, the steeply-inclined part extends from a start position on one side of the tire equator to the bent position on the other side of the tire equator, while inclining to one tire circumferential direction; and the mildly-inclined part extends from the bent position to the adjacent tread edge, while inclining to the above-mentioned one tire circumferential direction. The first auxiliary oblique groove is disposed on the above-mentioned one side of the tire equator and connected to the steeply-inclined part of the main oblique groove at a connection point, wherein the steeply-inclined part extends from the connection point to the bent position, while inclining to the above-mentioned one tire circumferential direction; and the mildly-inclined part extends from the bent position to the adjacent tread edge, while inclining to the above-mentioned one tire circumferential direction. The second auxiliary oblique groove is connected to the steeply-inclined part of the main oblique groove at a connection point, wherein the bent position is on the same side of the tire equator as the bent position of the first auxiliary oblique groove; the connection point is on the other side of the tire equator than the bent position of the second auxiliary oblique groove; the steeply-inclined part extends from the connection point to the bent position, while inclining to the above-mentioned one tire circumferential direction; and the mildly-inclined part extends from the bent position to the adjacent tread edge, while inclining to the above-mentioned one tire circumferential direction.",
