A saddle riding vehicle includes a pivot frame configured to support a swing arm, a step bracket attachment section continuous with a lower side of the pivot frame, and a step bracket attached to an outer surface of the step bracket attachment section outside in a vehicle width direction and configured to support a step, wherein the outer surface of the step bracket attachment section is provided further inside in the vehicle width direction than an outer surface of the pivot frame outside in the vehicle width direction, and an outer surface of the step bracket outside in the vehicle width direction is disposed to be arranged on the same surface as the outer surface of the pivot frame.

A saddle riding vehicle includes a body frame, an engine supported by the body frame, an exhaust sensor that detects exhaust air of the engine, and a radiator for the engine. The engine is supported by an engine hanger portion disposed in the body frame. The exhaust sensor is disposed on an exhaust pipe of the engine at a position on a front with respect to the engine hanger portion and is positioned underneath the radiator. At least a part of the exhaust sensor overlaps the engine hanger portion as viewed in a front view of a vehicle.

A locking structure for a saddle type vehicle to prevent theft and achieve a tamper-proofing effect while securing a storage space in a vehicle body. A front cover is provided with a storage part which is openably closed with a lid. The lid is lockable into a closed state or unlockable from the closed state by means of a lid lock mechanism. A main seat is lockable into an engaged state with seat rails or unlockable from the engaged state by means of a seat lock mechanism. At least one of the lid lock mechanism and the seat lock mechanism is connected to a key cylinder by a first cable and a second cable. The key cylinder overlaps a steering shaft in a side view, and is located within an opening provided in an inner cover, which is a component of the front cover, in a top plan view.
