The present invention provides a breather device for a water-cooled V-type engine with a breather device in which a breather chamber effectively utilizes the available space in an engine. A water-cooled V-type engine includes a crankshaft that extends into a crankcase in the widthwise direction of the motorcycle. On a side wall of the crankcase that connects with the end of the crankshaft, there is a side cover that is located over a clutch mechanism in the rear of the crankcase. A breather chamber is formed within the space contained between the side cover and an oil separator and is positioned in front of the clutch mechanism. A shaft that rotates with and is parallel to the crankshaft is located between a set of front and rear cylinder assemblies and is right above the crankshaft. This shaft drives a cooling-water pump which is located outside the side cover.
