Further, since non-colored and substantially transparent resin is used as the resin, the contrast with the colored body cover is increased, and the presence of the basket can be reduced.

Further, when a recess is formed in the front surface of the front fender as in the present embodiment, and the basket is inserted into this recess, the luggage support portion has a double structure to increase the rigidity, and the substantially transparent basket 28 is formed. It is possible to prevent the inside of the front fender 25 from being exposed.
The basket 28 may be formed of a colored resin, and in that case, a simple opening may be provided on the front surface of the front fender instead of the concave portion. Further, the entire basket may be formed by a wire mesh, and in this case, it is desirable to have a double structure as described above. In addition, as the basket, a portion facing the concave portion 25a of the front fender 25 can be formed of resin, and an upper half portion can be formed of a wire mesh.

The basket 28 may be formed by bulging the rear wall D rearward as shown by a two-dot chain line E in FIG. When doing so, the rear wall of the front fender is similarly bulged rearward. With such a configuration, it becomes impossible to provide a luggage storage space in the leg shield, but it is possible to store a long object as shown by a two-dot chain line F in FIG. 4 in the basket. In addition, if the rear extension end of the rear wall is positioned right beside the head pipe 6, the length of the long object that can be stored is shortened, but a luggage storage space is obtained in the leg shield.

Further, the basket 28 is formed in a box shape as shown in this embodiment, and

The luggage storage box is opened by storing the lid member in the lid storage device.

Therefore, by covering the luggage storage box, it is possible to prevent the luggage from getting wet during rainfall and to prevent the luggage from jumping out. In addition, the gap between the lid member drawn out of the entrance and the upper edge of the luggage storage box can be reduced, so that rainwater does not easily enter. Further, the lid member storing operation can be easily performed simply by winding the lid member in the lid storage device.

Further, the luggage storage box can be closed only when necessary, so that the loading / unloading property is not impaired. Furthermore, since the lid storage device, which is a heavy object, approaches the vehicle center of gravity, the mass can be concentrated. Since the lid storage device is positioned close to the vehicle body frame, there is also an effect that the lid storage device can be firmly supported.

In addition, since the handle does not hinder the opening and closing of the lid, the lid can be opened and closed with high operability. Further, the lid storage device does not hinder the loading and unloading of luggage. Further, since the lid storage device is disposed by utilizing the dead space directly below the front portion of the handle cover, the lid storage device does not reduce the substantial capacity of the luggage storage box. Furthermore, since the lid storage device is arranged just below the front portion of the handle cover and extends inward of the luggage storage box, the luggage storage box is vertically moved so that the upper edge approaches the handle cover. And the storage capacity can be increased. In addition, the luggage storage box has a rear portion extending inward of the vehicle body cover, and a rear wall formed so as to extend substantially parallel to the head pipe in a side view with the rear wall being close to the head pipe. Can be used as a luggage storage space to increase the storage capacity. In addition, since the front wall of the luggage storage box is inclined downward and the upper edge is inclined forward and downward, the storage capacity is further increased and the opening of the luggage storage box is increased. By making the rear wall of the luggage storage box close to the head pipe, the support structure of the luggage storage box can be reduced in size and weight, and the rigidity can be increased.
