  • Patent number: 10920639
    Abstract: A saddle riding vehicle includes a unit swing engine swingably supported on a body frame through a link member, and an exhaust device provided with an exhaust pipe and a catalyst device. The link member is disposed on an upper side of a crankcase. Part of the catalyst device is disposed below a cylinder section and is located in a region between an imaginary line that connects a link member coupling section coupling the link member to the body frame and a front end of the crankcase and an imaginary line that connects an exhaust pipe connection section of the unit swing engine connected with an end of the exhaust pipe and the link member coupling section, in side view. An exhaust device coupling section that couples the crankcase and the exhaust device is provided.
