ABSTRACT:
An engine for a motorcycle includes an engine case split in an upper case section and a lower case section. A mating surface between the upper case section and the lower case section extends linearly and inclines forward downward in a side view of the motorcycle. A crankshaft, a transmission input shaft, and a balancer shaft extending in the width direction of the motorcycle are rotatably supported at the mating surface, and a transmission output shaft rotated by the transmission input shaft is supported in the lower case section. The balancer shaft, the crankshaft, and the transmission input shaft are arranged in that order from the front side in the running direction of the motorcycle. The transmission output shaft is disposed below the transmission input shaft.
