Abstract

A technique to adequately provide a sound pressure of a horn that is less affected by a flow of air. In a motorcycle including a front cover for laterally covering a horn, the front cover includes an outer cover and an inner cover located inwardly of the outer cover in a vehicle-width direction. The inner cover includes an air guide surface extending in a vehicle-longitudinal direction. The horn is placed at the rear of the air guide surface. The inner cover further includes a relief portion leaning outwardly in the vehicle-width direction to steer clear of a vehicle forward side of the horn. The inner cover includes a covering provided on a surface contiguous with the air guide surface to cover at least a part of the vehicle forward side of the horn. The covering has a mesh structure.
