PURPOSE:To effectively utilize a mount space and reduce air intake resistance, by reducing the height of a front wall than that of a rear wall, and arranging an upper surface along a bottom surface of a fuel tank and under the fuel tank. CONSTITUTION:A fuel tank 5 is arranged on a tank frame 1b of a body frame 1, and a bottom surface 5g of the tank is downwardly sloped rearwardly. A rear wall of an air cleaner case 15 accommodating an air cleaner element 14 is reduced in height than a front wall thereof, and an upper surface 15a of the case is downwardly sloped along the bottom surface 5g of the fuel tank. An inlet duct 22 is mounted to the front wall. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively utilize a space under the fuel tank, and as the height of the front wall is increased, a large inlet duct may be used, thereby reducing air intake resistance.
