The present invention provides a
straddle type vehicle capable of suppressing movement of a wire harness connected to a rotating
electric machine while avoiding enlargement of a
power unit. The
straddle type vehicle is equipped with: a connecting member (33), which is connected to the vehicle
body frame (12), and supports a swing shaft (26) extending parallel to the axle shaft of the rear wheel; a swing type
power unit (27), which is mounted on the
crankcase ( 53) A bearing body (83) is integrally formed, the bearing body is rotatably connected to the swing shaft at a position above the rotation axis (Rx) of the
crankshaft (52), and the swing type
power unit swings relative to the vehicle
body frame a rotating
electric machine (65), which is arranged in a generator chamber (69), which is separated from the
crank chamber and partly separated by the
crankcase, and which generates
electricity corresponding to the rotation of the
crankshaft, and is connected to the supply of
electric current The
crankshaft is driven accordingly; and the wiring harness (47, 49), which is connected to the rotating
electric machine, is led out from the front of the bearing body to the outside of the
crankcase.
