A saddle-ride-type vehicle includes a vehicle body lower portion protective member for increasing the rigidity thereof and for protecting a vehicle body frame. A saddle-ride type vehicle includes a head pipe and a pair of left and right lower frames extending from the head pipe for supporting an engine. An engine guard extends from an area in front of the engine to an area below the engine. The engine guard includes an engine protective portion for covering the engine and a frame protective portion for protecting the lower frame. The engine protective portion and the frame protective portion are disposed with a step formed therebetween.

Saddle-ride type vehicle

In a saddle-riding type vehicle including a shroud, efficiency is achieved by disposing a vehicle component in a space shielded by the shroud, and the vehicle component is suitably protected from, for example, rainwater, while ventilation for the vehicle component is ensured. A regulator is disposed on a first side of the vehicle, at a position at which the regulator does not overlap a fuel tank as seen in a top plan view. The regulator is covered by a right shroud from above and from outside in the vehicle width direction. The right shroud has an opening formed therein at a portion where the regulator faces upwardly. The opening overlaps with, and is covered by from above by part of the right shroud that is different from the portion of the right shroud at which the opening is formed in a top plan view.
