Abstract

A motorcycle includes an internal combustion engine, a frame, a fuel tank for carrying a fuel to be consumed by the internal combustion engine, and a container connected to the internal combustion engine and the fuel tank. The container is configured to store fuel evaporating from the fuel tank, and the container in a position of use is at least partially covered by the fuel tank. The fuel tank is supported pivotably relative to the frame between a maintenance position and the position of use.
