Abstract
A straddle-type vehicle (100) includes a frame (20) and an engine (10) mounted on the frame (20). The engine (10) includes a cylinder head (11) positioned toward the rear end of the frame, and located below a saddle seat. The cylinder head faces toward the rear end of the frame, which allows the heated cylinder head of the engine and the exhaust pipe connected to the cylinder head to avoid the position where the user's legs contact the vehicle while riding, so the effect of heat emitted from the cylinder head on the rider's experience is reduced.
