A vehicle includes a propulsion power source, a handlebar, an output adjusting grip, and a torque operation member. The handlebar is operable to steer the vehicle. The output adjusting grip is disposed on either a right or left portion of the handlebar operably so that an output level of the propulsion power source is adjusted by rotating the output adjusting grip relative to the handlebar. The torque operation member is operable to issue a command to change a torque output characteristic of the propulsion power source. The torque operation member is disposed on the same right or left portion of the handlebar with the output adjusting grip rotatably integrally with the output adjusting grip.

A fuselage, a support part supporting the fuselage, a thrust generation unit including fore, aft, left, and right thrust generators, and a flight controller controlling the unit are included. The fore, aft, left, and right thrust generators are respectively positioned on first, second, third, and fourth axes respectively extending in support part fore and aft, fore and aft, left and right, and left and right directions. The generators are respectively at the support part front, back, left, and right. The generators respectively generate thrust in directions intersecting the first, second, third, and fourth axes and can change thrust magnitude and direction around them. All generators are connected to the support part.

A motorcycle includes a detachable pannier. A rear surface of the pannier includes a first inclined surface extending downward from an upper end so as to be inclined rearward, and a second inclined surface extending downward from a lower end of the first inclined surface so as to be inclined rearward at an angle greater than the first inclined surface. A light distribution requirement that a tail lamp and a turn indicator can be seen from a rear side is met in a state where the pannier is mounted.

A fairing unit () for enclosing a front portion of a vehicle body includes a fairing body () and a front edge member () mounted removably on the fairing body and forming a major component of a front edge of the fairing unit. The front edge member is made up of left and right front edge pieces (). A fairing assembly () includes the fairing unit and turn signal lamps (A,B) mounted on the fairing body at a location rearwardly of the front edge member so as to protrude in a direction laterally outwardly thereof. The turn signal lamp is supported for collapsible movement in a direction laterally inwardly.
