PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cowl structure of a saddle-riding type vehicle which can effectively discharge exhaust air passed through a radiator outside a vehicle from a lateral side of the radiator.SOLUTION: A cowl structure of a saddle-riding type vehicle comprises: left and right middle cowls 40 which cover lateral sides of a vehicle body frame; and a radiator R which is covered by the left and right middle cowls 40 in a vehicle side view on a front side of an engine E located below a fuel tank T having a knee grip part T1 held by knees of an operator, introduces travel wind from a front opening between the lift and right middle cowls 40 and discharges the travel wind rearwards. The middle cowl 40 comprises an inner middle cowl 50 located in a vehicle width direction inner side and an outer middle cowl 60 located in a vehicle width direction outer side. The inner middle cowl 50 comprises an opening 51 which is opened toward the outer middle cowl 60 side on a lateral side of the radiator R, and an air channel formation part 52 which forms an air channel D, which guides exhaust air A2 from the radiator R to the exterior of a vehicle, rearwards from the opening 51 between itself and the outer middle cowl 60.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】ラジエータを通過した排風をラジエータの側方から車外へ効率よく排出できる鞍乗型車両のカウル構造を提供する。【解決手段】車体フレームの側方を覆う左右のミドルカウル４０と、運転者の膝で挟まれるニーグリップ部Ｔ１を有する燃料タンクＴの下方に配置されたエンジンＥの前側において、車両側面視で左右のミドルカウル４０に覆われ左右のミドルカウル４０間の前面開口から走行風を取り入れて後方へ排出するラジエータＲとを備え、ミドルカウル４０は、車幅方向内側に配置されるインナーミドルカウル５０と、車幅方向外側に配置されるアウターミドルカウル６０とを備え、インナーミドルカウル５０は、ラジエータＲの側方においてアウターミドルカウル６０側に向けて開口する開口部５１と、アウターミドルカウル６０との間で、開口部５１から後方へ向かってラジエータＲからの排風Ａ２の車外への風路Ｄを形成する風路形成部５２とを備えている。【選択図】図４
