Abstract:
A motorcycle of the present invention comprises a main frame, a fuel tank, and a bracket for fastening a front end portion of the fuel tank to a front portion of the main frame. The bracket includes a bracket body of a flat plate shape, and frame joining portions which partially swell from the bracket body toward the main frame on a reverse surface of the bracket body, wherein the reverse surface is configured to contact the main frame. The frame joining portions are configured to contact the main frame such that a gap through which a throttle cable extends is formed between the bracket body and the main frame. This makes it possible to place the cable such that the cable does not extend around an outer periphery of the bracket provided to fasten the fuel tank to the vehicle body frame.
