Abstract
An engine assembly which is longer in the front and rear directions is formed by integrally connecting a horizontally opposed engine having a pair of cylinders projecting generally horizontally from left and right sides of the crank case, an automatic transmission, and a rear wheel gear box. The front part of a body frame is coupled to the front part of the engine assembly with bolts and a fitting projection which is formed on a lower part of the rear part of the body frame is coupled to the rear part of the engine assembly with a bolt. Thereby, the engine assembly forms a part of the main body frame.
