Abstract
In a straddle type vehicle having a power unit provided on a body frame between a front wheel and a rear wheel to provide a driving force to the vehicle, and a radiator provided between the front wheel and the power unit to radiate the heat of the power unit into the air, a guard pipe is provided between the radiator and the power unit so as to protect the power unit from colliding with the ground when the vehicle is overturned and from being struck by obstacles in the front direction. Effective utilization of a narrow space can protect the power unit due to the fact that the guard pipe is provided in the relatively narrow space between the radiator, which is just in front of the power unit, and the power unit so as to protect the power unit.
