Abstract
A motorcycle is provided having an engine disposed between a front wheel and a rear wheel and functional components, e.g., a first radiator, a fuel pump, a rear shock absorber, etc., are arranged, as viewed from the side, on a circumference of a circle with a radius R corresponding to a distance from a crankshaft, serving as a center, to a corner of an oil pan, serving as a part of the engine most distant from the crankshaft, to concentrate the functional components of the motorcycle at positions substantially equidistant from the crankshaft of the engine whereby a mass concentration toward the vehicle body center of a motorcycle is achieved.
