Abstract
An arrangement of motorcycle navigation system components enables both a meter display unit and a navigation display unit to be easily viewed by the vehicle operator. A motorcycle includes a meter display unit for displaying drive information such as a vehicle speed or a travel distance, and a navigation display unit for displaying the destination or the current vehicle position. Both display units are covered by a single transparent panel which permits the displays to be viewed therethrough. The navigation display unit is arranged behind the meter display unit, relative to the front of the vehicle, so as to protrude rearwardly with respect to the meter display unit, to give a driver of the motorcycle a clear view of both units, without significant overlap.
