In addition, since the portion of the basket 51 extending into the body cover 20 is a resin plate having a U-shaped cross section, the rigidity of the basket 51 can be increased. Further, since the wire mesh 53 is fixed to the outside of the side wall of the resin portion 52 and the connecting portion of both is formed along the opening of the front fender 25, the exposed portion of the basket 51 exposed outside the body cover 20 is formed. Can be made larger than the opening area of the inwardly extending portion extending inward of the vehicle body cover 20 without being restricted by the vehicle body cover 20. Furthermore, even if the exposed portion is formed large, the presence can be reduced because the portion is formed by the wire mesh 53.

In addition, as the front fender 25,
The side view appearance shape, that is, the portion constituting the opening edge of the concave portion 25a may be formed as shown by a two-dot chain line C or D in FIG. When formed as shown by the two-dot chain line D,
The entire front surface of the front fender 25 is substantially straight when viewed from the side.

Further, the basket 28 can be formed by bulging the rear wall D rearward as shown by a two-dot chain line E in FIG. When doing so, the rear wall of the front fender is similarly bulged rearward. With such a configuration, it becomes impossible to provide a luggage storage space in the leg shield, but it is possible to store a long object as shown by a two-dot chain line F in FIG. 4 in the basket. Note that the rear extension end of the rear wall is
, The length of the long object that can be stored is shortened, but a luggage storage space is obtained in the leg shield.

In addition, although a take-up shutter type cover is used as a cover for closing the upper opening of the basket 28, a cover made of a soft resin or a vinyl cover may be used. When a vinyl cover is used, a storage case may be provided at a position where the take-up shutter type basket cover 30 in the present embodiment is disposed, and the vinyl cover may be pulled out from the case or folded so as to be stored. .

In this embodiment, the front fender 25 is fixed to the vehicle body irrespective of the steering operation of the steering wheel 4 and integrally covers the upper part of the front wheel and also has a fender function. Although the fixed scooter type motorcycle 1 has been described, a movable fender which covers the front wheel and is integrally steered with the front wheel may be provided .

As described above, according to the present invention, the rear portion of the luggage storage box is extended from the opening formed in the vehicle body cover so as to open forward, to the inside of the vehicle body cover. An inwardly extending portion of the luggage storage box extending into the vehicle body cover is formed by a resin plate having a U-shaped cross section opened forward and fixed to the vehicle body frame, and is exposed outside the vehicle body cover of the luggage storage box. Is formed by a wire mesh formed in a predetermined shape having a lateral width wider than the inwardly extending portion, and is fixed to the resin plate. A joint portion between the wire mesh and the resin plate is formed along the opening of the vehicle body cover. Because of this, a part of the inner space of the vehicle body cover is used as a luggage storage space, and the luggage storage box can be moved toward the head pipe.

Therefore, the storage capacity of the luggage storage box can be increased, and the load is increased despite the increased storage capacity.
The object storage box can be brought closer to the car's weight .

Further, the luggage storage box approaches the head pipe.
In addition , the size and weight of the brackets for attaching the luggage storage box to the vehicle body frame can be reduced, and the support structure of the luggage storage box can be made highly rigid.

Further, since a part of the luggage storage box is hidden by the cover, the exposed portion is reduced despite the size of the luggage storage box being increased. That is, the storage amount can be increased for the appearance. Moreover, since the exposed portion is a wire mesh, the presence is reduced and the appearance can be improved. In addition, since the portion of the luggage storage box extending into the body cover is a resin plate having a U-shaped cross section, the rigidity of the luggage storage box can be increased. Also, the opening area of the exposed portion of the luggage storage box that is exposed outside the vehicle body cover may be larger than the opening area of the inwardly extending portion that extends inward of the vehicle body cover without being restricted by the vehicle body cover. it can. Therefore, the luggage entrance of the luggage storage box can be opened widely, so that luggage can be easily taken in and out. Furthermore, even if this exposed portion is large, since this portion is formed of a wire mesh, the presence can be reduced,
The appearance can be improved.
