Abstract
A motorcycle with a reduced number of parts for a step structure to achieve a compact and simple structure. The motorcycle includes an engine main body of an engine, which exerts power for driving a rear wheel. The engine is mounted on a body frame with a main step on which a rider's foot is placed being supported on the body frame. An exhaust muffler, to which exhaust gas from the engine main body is introduced, is supported by a muffler stay attached to the body frame. A muffler stay, which is attached to attachment portions provided in a body frame above a main step, extends downwardly toward the rear from the attachment portions and functions as a heel guard for a rider placing his/her foot on the main step.
