A motorcycle includes a combustion engine (E) of a type, in which a cylinder block (34) protrudes upwardly from a crankcase (32), an air cleaner unit (42) for substantially purifying an air, and a supercharger (44) for taking a substantially purified air from the air cleaner unit (42) thereinto and
A motorcycle includes a combustion engine (E) of a type, in which a cylinder block (34) protrudes upwardly from a crankcase (32), an air cleaner unit (42) for substantially purifying an air, and a supercharger (44) for taking a substantially purified air from the air cleaner unit (42) thereinto and supplying the air towards the combustion engine (E). The supercharger (44) is disposed rearwardly of the cylinder block (34) and the air cleaner unit (42) is disposed rearwardly thereof. Also, a surge tank (48) is disposed rearwardly upwardly of the cylinder block (34) of the combustion engine (E) and above the supercharger (44).

1. A motorcycle which comprises: a combustion engine having a cylinder block protruding upwardly from a crankcase and a cylinder head mounted atop the cylinder block;an air cleaner unit for substantially purifying an air;a supercharger for taking a substantially purified air from the air cleaner unit thereinto and supplying the air towards the combustion engine, the supercharger having a rotary shaft driven by drivingly connecting the rotary shaft with a crankshaft shaft of the combustion engine through a chain or a train of gearsa surge tank disposed rearwardly upwardly of the cylinder block of the combustion engine and above the supercharger, the surge tank including a tank body, a tank inlet portion extending downwardly from the tank body and an opening formed in the tank body; anda throttle body disposed intermediate between the surge tank and the cylinder head, the opening of the tank body being connected with an intake passage of the throttle body;in which the supercharger is disposed rearwardly of the cylinder block. 2. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, in which the air cleaner unit is disposed rearwardly of the supercharger. 3. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 2, in which the air cleaner unit is disposed above a crossbar in a main frame of a motorcycle body. 4. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a fuel tank disposed above the combustion engine, the supercharger and the air cleaner unit. 5. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an air control valve unit for adjusting an amount of the air to be supplied to the supercharger, the air control valve being disposed intermediate between the supercharger and the air cleaner unit. 6. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 5, in which at least a portion of the air control valve unit, when viewed from side, is so disposed as to overlap the supercharger. 7. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, in which the air cleaner unit has an intake opening, which opens towards one lateral side of a motorcycle body, and the supercharger has a suction port that is directed towards the opposite lateral side of the motorcycle body; and in which the supercharger and the air cleaner unit are fluidly connected directly with each other. 8. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, in which the supercharger is positioned above a lower end edge of the cylinder block and is positioned below an upper end edge of the cylinder block. 9. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, in which the tank body has a bottom surface confronting the cylinder head. 10. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 9, in which the combustion engine is employed in the form of a parallel multicylinder combustion engine; in which the tank body has a width substantially equal to that of a set of the cylinder heads. 11. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, in which the combustion engine is employed in the form of a parallel multicylinder combustion engine; in which the tank inlet portion is formed at a widthwise intermediate portion of the tank body. 12. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, in which the combustion engine is employed in the form of a parallel multicylinder combustion engine; in which a plurality of openings of the surge tank are formed, each for one cylinder, so as to be connected with the respective intake passages of the throttle body. 13. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a top injector provided in the surge tank. 14. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 13, in which the combustion engine is employed in the form of a parallel multicylinder combustion engine, in which the top injector confronts the opening. 15. The motorcycle as claimed in claim 13, in which the combustion engine is employed in the form of a parallel multicylinder combustion engine, further comprising a main injector arranged in the throttle body. 16. A motorcycle which comprises: a parallel multicylinder combustion engine having a cylinder block protruding upwardly from a crankcase and cylinder heads mounted atop the cylinder block;an air cleaner unit to substantially purify an air;a supercharger to take a substantially purified air from the air cleaner unit thereinto and supply the air towards the combustion engine;a surge tank disposed rearwardly upwardly of the cylinder block of the combustion engine; anda throttle body disposed intermediate between the surge tank and the cylinder heads;in which the surge tank includes: a tank body of a width substantially equal to that of the cylinder head, the tank body having a bottom surface confronting the cylinder head, the bottom surface being formed with openings arranged in a row extending in the widthwise direction of the tank body; anda tank inlet portion extending downwardly from the tank body, the tank inlet portion being formed at a widthwise intermediate portion of the tank body,in which a substantially purified air by the air cleaner unit is introduced through the opening into intake passages of the throttle body.
