Abstract
A cowling assembly is mounted on a front portion of the frame of a motorcycle. The cowling assembly includes a cowling covering a front portion of the frame, a windshield disposed on and continuously blending into a central upper portion of the cowling, and a pair of air ducts extending along laterally opposite sides of the windshield and having an air inlet for introducing an air flow developed when the motorcycle is running into the cowling and an air outlet for discharging the air flow introduced from the air inlet in a substantially upward direction. The air inlet is positioned near a lower end of the windshield on each side of the cowling, and the air outlet is positioned at an upper end of the cowling.
