Birch, Stewart, Kolasch & Birch, LLP
Motorcycle
A motorcycle with a muffler disposed downwardly of a rider's seat positioned, in a side view, upwardly of a rear wheel when a rear shock absorber is extended, to minimize sideway bulging of the muffler from a vehicle body and improve ride comfort, while avoiding interference between the muffler and other parts. An outer shell of a muffler has a rhombus cross section. The muffler is disposed on at least one side in a vehicle width direction of a rear wheel wherein one pair of side walls extend in parallel with each other out of side walls of the outer shell extending in a vertical direction. A side cover is formed to extend along the upper and outer side walls of the four side walls of the outer shell to cover the muffler from a side, downwardly of a rider's seat.
