<p>It is an object of the present invention to provide an exhaust gas purifying apparatus of a motorcycle (10), in which it is less prone to affect engine (15) output characteristics, temperature of a catalyst (51) is raised to an activation temperature rapidly after a start of the engine (15), and a vehicle body is not increased in size. In a motorcycle (10) including: an engine (15) in which a cylinder block (25) is extended upward on a crankcase (24); an exhaust port (41) provided on a front portion of the engine (15); an exhaust pipe (17) which is extended forward of the engine (15) from the exhaust port (41), extended downward once, and thereafter, extended toward the rear of a vehicle body (50); and a catalyst (51) placed in the exhaust pipe, an exhaust gas purifying apparatus is characterized in that the exhaust pipe (17) is allowed to pass along a side of the cylinder block (25), and the catalyst (51) placed in the exhaust pipe is positioned on the side of the cylinder block (25). <IMAGE></p> |
