Abstract:
An exhaust pipe extends rearward of a vehicle body from an engine located forward of the rear wheels and is supported on the vehicle body frame. An exhaust muffler is coupled to a rear end of the exhaust pipe that is arranged between a pair of right and left rear wheels. A catalytic converter (catalytic device) is installed in the middle of the exhaust pipe and the exhaust pipe is deviated to one side in a horizontal direction of the vehicle body with respect to the engine and the exhaust muffler in order to position the catalytic convertor between the vehicle body frame and the rear wheels.
