An exhaust system for a motorcycle includes exhaust pipes extending from exhaust ports of an engine, a first muffler chamber for receiving the exhaust pipes, a second muffler chamber arranged parallel to and operatively connected with the first muffler chamber, and a silencer disposed in the second muffler chamber. The exhaust system is distributively arranged in a vehicle width direction such that the first muffler chamber is situated on a left side of a center line of the motorcycle defined along longitudinal direction of the motorcycle, and the second muffler chamber is situated on a right side of the center line. The first and second muffler chambers are disposed at a position below the engine. The exhaust gas from the engine is emitted outside the engine via, in sequence, the exhaust pipes, the first and second muffler chambers and the silencer.
