Abstract
A motorcycle includes a frame that mounts an engine and a fuel tank. The fuel tank is mounted above the engine. Air intake conduitry includes an upwardly extending intake pipe, an upwardly extending connecting pipe, and a connecting box immediately beneath the fuel tank, atop the intake and connecting pipers, which serves to connect them so as to provide an air intake conduit from the atmosphere to the engine. In a V-type engine, the pipes and box are disposed in the angle between the cylinders. In multi-bank engines, which utilize a pair of intake pipes, the connecting pipe, and also an air cleaner, can be disposed between them. When the fuel tank includes a pair of draped sides to form a saddle-like tank, the connecting box can be disposed between the draped sides.
