A covering for a motorcycle exhaust tube is employed in a V-banked combustion engine having a drive output shaft, extending in a direction widthwise of a motorcycle body structure, and front and rear cylinder units arranged one after another in a direction longitudinally thereof, the front cylinder unit being displaced in one sidewise direction relative to a longitudinal mid-center line of the motorcycle body structure. The covering includes a covering body for covering a front exhaust tube, which is drawn from the front cylinder unit in a direction opposite to the one sidewise direction and extends rearwardly downwardly, and a covering extension provided in the covering body and positioned rearwardly of a radiator so as to extend towards the front cylinder unit.
