Provided is a motorcycle (1) capable of reducing a force, which causes shrouds (2) to be separated from side surfaces of a fuel tank (3), and of increasing an amount of air guided to an engine. The motorcycle (1) is provided with shrouds (2) fixed onto side surfaces (3a) of a fuel tank (3), respectively. The shrouds (2) are arranged to extend forward from the fuel tank (3). Further, each of the shrouds (2) is curved so as to swell outwardly in a right-left direction, and has an outermost portion (22c) that is located furthest outward in the right-left direction between a front end (22d) and a rear end of each of the shrouds (2). The outermost portion (22c) is located further forward than a fixation portion (2a,2b) at which each of the shrouds (2) is fixed to the fuel tank (3). A distance (L1) between the front end (22d) of the left shroud (2) and the front end (22d) of the right shroud (2) is larger than a width (L2) in the right-left direction of the fuel tank (3).
