Abstract
An engine unit of a motorcycle includes a crankshaft, a piston, and a swing member. The crankshaft is housed in a crankcase in a direction such that a rotational center line is parallel to a vehicle-width direction. The piston is disposed above the crankshaft and reciprocates in an approximately up-down direction. The swing member is disposed forward of the crankshaft and the piston, coupled to the crankshaft by a coupling member, and swings in an approximately front-rear direction synchronized with a rotation of the crankshaft.
