ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle in which front and rear wheels are suspended on a body frame and a power unit for driving the wheels via a drive shaft is carried on the central portion of the body frame, a fuel tank and an exhaust muffler are juxtaposed on left and right sides below the body frame in such a manner to be contained within the vertical projection plane of the body frame, and a heat insulating plate is interposed between the fuel tank and the exhaust muffler. The power unit is offset to one side in the widthwise direction of a vehicle body to define a space on the opposite side in which the drive shaft and exhaust pipes are disposed inside the outermost frame portion in vertically spaced relation to extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.
