Abstract

An object of the invention is to improve the motorcycle radiator arranging construction with a view to improving the external appearance characteristic of a motorcycle. In a motorcycle having a water-cooled engine 12 installed thereon, a radiator 75 is arranged erect in a space 87 defined between the engine 12 and a rear wheel 16 in such a manner that a front surface 75 a thereof is directed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is supported on a body frame 11 , whereby the radiator 75 is made difficult to see from the outside compared with a case where the radiator is arranged at the front of the body frame to thereby make conspicuous, for example, the design of the engine.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improvement of a radiator arrangement structure of a motorcycle. Background technique [0002] As a conventional radiator arrangement structure of a motorcycle, there is known, for example, a structure in which a radiator is arranged between vehicle frames in front of an engine, as disclosed in JP 2003-89349 A . [0003] The Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-89349 will be described below. Symbols The symbols described in this gazette are used. as stated in the Gazette figure 1 and Figure 40 As shown, in the motorcycle 1, a gusset 32 ​​is attached to the rear of the head pipe 21, a pair of left and right downpipes 33 extend substantially downward from the gusset 32, and a heat dissipation device is disposed between these downpipes 33. The radiator 10 is located in front of the engine 9 . [0004] The radiator 10 is arranged in front of the engine 9 between the left and right downpipes 33 at a posit...
