ABSTRACT:
A bottom portion of a fuel tank of a motorcycle is prevented from being heated by engine heat to avoid an increase in fuel temperature. The fuel tank is behind and above the engine and a seat is behind the fuel tank. The seat includes a seat frame attached to the body frame and extending rearward, and a seat cushion mounted on the seat frame. The seat frame has an air introduction opening formed behind the seat cushion, and defines an air passage for guiding air introduced from the air introduction opening toward a bottom wall of the fuel tank.
