Abstract
A motorcycle having a power unit of unitary structure pivotally mounted to the motorcycle. The power unit includes an engine, a variable ratio V-belt drive transmission, a centrifugal clutch and a rear axle assembly. The centrifugal clutch is located above a line extending between the output shaft of the engine and the rear axle. The driven pulley of the variable ratio V-belt drive includes a sealed lubricated portion containing a splined joint accommodating the relative axial displacement between the pulley halves. A gear train connects the output of the clutch, which is associated with the driven pulley, to the rear axle.
