Abstract
A motorcycle includes a main frame, a seat frame connected to a rear portion of the main frame and extending backward to support a seat, an auxiliary frame reinforcing the seat frame, and an acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor is supported at a position under the seat frame and above the auxiliary frame in a side view by a bracket extending from the seat frame or the auxiliary frame. Side surfaces of the acceleration sensor are covered with a vehicle body cover.
