According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present teaching aims to provide a straddled vehicle capable of suppressing a decrease in the amount of a radiator-passing wind stream in traveling, while suppressing an influence that heat caused by the radiator-passing wind stream gives to a rider and/or an electrical part disposed rearward of a radiator. A straddled vehicle 1 of the present teaching includes a radiator 60 including a radiator core 62, fans 70, a radiator cover 80, and a forward member 50. The radiator cover 80 covers at least a part of a wind stream amount increase region in which the amount of a radiator-passing wind stream increases in traveling. The radiator cover 80 has a rear partition wall portion 81, to restrict an inflow of the radiator-passing wind stream into a rearward space, and also has a pressure drop portion 83 for letting a part of the radiator-passing wind stream escape to the rearward space, the pressure drop portion 83 being disposed at a position opposed to the wind stream amount increase region."
