The swing arm is supported at a body frame by a single rear shock absorber. The engine is supported at the body frame by a plurality of vibration absorbing support members. Each vibration absorbing support member has a structure in which a rubber member is arranged between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. The engine is attached to the inner cylinder with use of an engine support shaft, and the body frame is attached to the outer cylinder with use of an engine bracket.
