ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a motorcycle having a cowling covering an under side thereof in which the cowling can be formed so as to avoid a catalyst while maintaining strength of the cowling, and can maintain a large bank angle and secure the minimum road clearance. The motorcycle is provided with a vehicle body provided with an engine, an exhaust pipe connected to the engine, a catalyst apparatus provided in the exhaust pipe and arranged under the engine, and the cowling covering at least an under portion of the vehicle body. An opening in which an entire peripheral edge portion thereof is formed in a closed hole shape is formed at a position of the cowling corresponding to the catalyst apparatus.
