Abstract
In an internal combustion engine wherein an intake manifold for performing intake for the front and rear cylinders is placed in a narrow and high-temperature V-bank, to provide a structure of an intake device that does not allow an overall height of the internal combustion engine to become high. An intake structure of a V-type internal combustion engine includes a throttle body having a throttle opening sensor on one end of a throttle valve shaft that is provided so that an intake passage of the throttle body can extend in a crankshaft direction between front and rear cylinders. The center of the intake passage of the throttle body is disposed to be shifted to one cylinder side, and the throttle opening sensor is placed on a side where the center of the intake passage of the throttle body is apart from the cylinder.
