An air cleaner device in a motorcycle comprising an air cleaner disposed within a fairing in front of a front fork, the cleaner including a case which is generally in the form of an inverted L comprising a transverse portion extending in a transverse direction of the motorcycle body and a longitudinal portion extending at one side of the transverse portion in a longitudinal direction of the motorcycle body along one side inner wall of the fairing, the wall surface of the case opposed to the front fork being curved so as not to interfere with a steering motion of the front fork. In this manner, the clean side of the air cleaner comprises a portion extending in the direction of the vehicle width and a longitudinal portion adjacent one end thereof to thereby ensure a sufficient capacity.
