Next, FIG. 12 shows a motorcycle vehicle according to another reference example. Similarly to the above, a storage section 70 (storage box 71) constituting a lower article storage section is provided below the seat 47, and a front article storage section at the front of the vehicle body is provided in front of the seat 47 instead of the rear trunk 60. A front trunk that has a dummy fuel tank to be configured and that forms an article storage section with the dummy fuel tank;
Make up 80. The dummy fuel tank that forms the front trunk 80, which is the front article storage section, is located between the seat 47 and the handle 42,
It is arranged above the engine 40 and above the frame 41 indicated by the reference numeral 40, and has an outer shape similar to a fuel tank. Note that the fuel tank 00 is disposed below the storage box 71 below the seat 47 (see also FIG. 13).

That is, the front trunk 80 is composed of a storage box 81 opening upward and an opening / closing lid 83 whose opening can be opened and closed by a front hinge, and has a so-called dummy tank shape as described above. ing. The front of the storage box 71 below the seat 47 is continuous with the lower portion of the rear of the storage box 81 of the front trunk 80. A communication port 82 is opened on the rear surface of the storage box 81 of the front trunk 80, and a plate-shaped partition member is provided in the communication port 82.
73 is provided detachably.

According to the motorcycle vehicle described above, since the front trunk 80 is provided in front of the seat 47, the opening / closing lid 83 can be opened, and appropriate articles including the helmet H can be put in and out of the storage box 81. In the same manner as described above, the sheet 47 can be raised and appropriate articles can be taken in and out of the storage box 71 thereunder, and the partition member 73 between the two storage boxes 71 and 81 adjacent to each other as described above is required. Since the two storage boxes 71 and 81 can be communicated with each other by, for example, being removed, a large space in the storage boxes 71 and 81 can be sufficiently used to store an appropriate long object L.

Next, FIG. 14 shows a motorcycle vehicle according to a further reference example.
70 (storage box 71), and the rear trunk 60 and the front trunk 80 are both installed. According to the above motorcycle vehicle, since the front trunk 80 and the rear trunk 60 are provided before and after the seat 47, the respective opening and closing lids 83 and 63 are opened, and the respective Items can be taken in and out.

In the same manner as described above, the sheet 47 can be raised, and appropriate articles can be taken in and out of the storage box 71 thereunder.
By separating each partition member 72, 73 between 61, 71, 81 when necessary, it is possible to communicate between all three storage boxes 61, 71, 81, so that a large space therein can be sufficiently used. Utilizing it, an appropriate long object L can be stored.
