A twin clutch transmission can be made sufficiently small and can easily be mounted on a motorcycle without biasing the lateral weight balance. In this transmission, a first clutch is arranged to input rotation power transferred from a crankshaft to a first main shaft and to output the rotation power to a rear wheel via an odd-numbered transmission gear mechanism, and a second clutch is arranged to input rotation power transferred from the crankshaft to a second main shaft and to output the rotation power to the rear wheel via an even-numbered transmission gear mechanism. The first and second main shafts are arranged in a mutually rotatable fashion on an axis line parallel or substantially parallel to the crankshaft, and a transmitting portion of driving force output to the rear wheel via the even-numbered transmission gear mechanism on the second main shaft has an outer diameter approximately identical to that of a transmitting portion of driving force output to the rear wheel via the odd-numbered transmission gear mechanism on the first main shaft, and is arranged so as to not concentrically overlap the transmitting portion of the first main shaft.
