A motorcycle has a seat arrangement for at least a driver, of which at least one seat bucket forms a seat with a seat cushion mounted on this seat bucket. The seat, which is firmly mounted on the vehicle and can be swiveled up by way of a hinge, can be fixed in the usage position by means of a locking device. The upwardly swivellable seat is fastened on the motorcycle by way of a holding device which also forms the hinge, and the holding device comprises a gas pressure spring which holds the seat in a swiveled-up position.

A motorcycle covering has a device for influencing a water flow which guides rain water taken along by an air flow on an outer surface of a motorcycle covering. This device assures that the rain water, after its detachment from the motorcycle covering, does not hit a driver and/or passenger. At least a partial surface of the motorcycle covering is provided with at least one rib which projects toward the outside and which, viewed in the direction of a longitudinal axis of a motorcycle, guides water from the front toward the rear and, viewed in the direction of a transverse axis of the motorcycle, guides water from the inside to the outside such that, after detachment of the water from the motorcycle covering, the water moves at least past partial regions of the driver and/or of the passenger.
