Abstract
In a motorcycle having an engine between a front wheel and a rear wheels, functional components (a first radiator, a fuel pump, a rear shock absorber) are arranged, as viewed from the side, on a circumference of a circle with a radius R corresponding to a distance from a crankshaft, serving as a center, to a corner of an oil pan, serving as a part most distant from the engine, to thereby concentrate the functional components of the motorcycle at positions substantially equidistant from the crankshaft of the engine. To achieve a mass concentration toward the vehicle body center of a motorcycle.
