Carburetors are provide for the respective cylinders, and a sub-chamber is interposed between an air cleaner and the side of the engine. Communication tubes for feeding air from the air cleaner to the respective carburetors are disposed inwardly of the air cleaner in the width direction of the motorcycle body and outwardly of the carburetors in the width direction of the motorcycle body. The sub-chamber is extended downward, and the communication tube extending from one of the carburetors is connected projectedly into the sub-chamber. In this way, the volume of a sub-chamber is secured and the air intake characteristics of a plurality of communication tubes for air intake are equalized by equalizing the length of the communication tubes.
