The invention relates to a motorcycle in which a foam molding material is used for a bottom plate 54 of a tandem seat 23 obtained by coupling a driver's seat 23A and an occupant's seat 23B to each other in the longitudinal direction, rear-part top-face vertical ribs 251 on a bottom-plate rear part 54C on the occupant's seat 23B side are disposed more densely than front-part top-face vertical ribs 244 and front-part top-face horizontal ribs 245 of a bottom-plate front part 54A on the driver's seat 23A side. Since rigidity of the bottom plate on the occupant's seat side can be increased by improvement in rigidity of the occupant's seat, the occupant's seat can be prevented from being forcefully opened, and the anti-theft effect can be increased. It is unnecessary to provide a conventional seat locking mechanism in the seat rear part. In the present invention, one seat locking mechanism is sufficient. Further, since the driver's seat has a smaller number of the ribs, seat comfort can be improved more, and increase in weight can be suppressed.
