ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle of the scooter-type is provided with a frame body supporting an engine unit whose cylinder portion is inclined forwardly. According to one aspect of the invention the frame body is provided with oppositely spaced frame members that mount a fuel tank, the surface of which is recessed to provide a clearance space for reception of the cylinder portion of the engine unit thereby to reduce the effective length required for the vehicle. According to another aspect of the invention a box-like construction forms a helmet-containment chamber for disposition on the frame body between the engine unit and the seat. The construction is particularly adapted to retain a pair of helmets without increasing the effective length of the vehicle by providing a partition that divides the chamber into separate compartments each of which is capable of snugly retaining one of the helmets.
