Abstract
An air intake system in a motorized cycle of the type wherein a fuel tank is disposed behind a top bridge. Within the fuel tank is formed an outside air introducing path having an opening formed in the front portion of the tank, with an air cleaner being disposed downstream of the outside air introducing path. With such arrangement, a relatively large flow of air can be introduced with a relatively small load on the air cleaner.
