A straddled vehicle equipped with an independent throttle engine, the straddled vehicle comprising: an independent throttle engine including at least one cylinder and a crankshaft, each of the at least one cylinder being provided with an independent throttle valve and a combustion chamber disposed inside the cylinder, the independent throttle engine being configured to output power through the crankshaft; an exhaust passage having a discharge port through which an exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber is discharged to the atmosphere, the exhaust passage being configured to let the exhaust gas pass therethrough from the combustion chamber to the discharge port; a silencer disposed downstream of the exhaust passage; a catalyst disposed in the exhaust passage and located upstream of an upstream end portion of the silencer; a magnet type motor including a rotor and a stator, the rotor being connected to the crankshaft such that power transmission between the rotor and the crankshaft is allowed, the stator being arranged opposed to the rotor, the rotor or the stator including a permanent magnet, the magnet type motor being configured to rotate the crankshaft at least when starting a combustion action of the independent throttle engine; an electricity storage device configured to supply electricity to the magnet type motor; and a driven member configured to be driven by power outputted from the independent throttle engine and/or the magnet type motor, to make the straddled vehicle equipped with the independent throttle engine move forward; characterized in that the straddled vehicle equipped with the independent throttle engine further comprises a control section configured to control the magnet type motor and the independent throttle engine such that, when cold-starting the independent throttle engine in a state where the combustion action of the independent throttle engine is stopped and the driven member is not driven, firstly, the magnet type motor uses electricity in the electricity storage device to cause forward rotation of the crankshaft with the combustion action of the independent throttle engine stopped, until a rotation speed of the crankshaft exceeds an idling rotation speed of the independent throttle engine, and then in a state where the rotation speed of the crankshaft exceeds the idling rotation speed of the independent throttle engine, the independent throttle engine is configured to supply air through the or each throttle valve as well as a fuel to the or each cylinder and starts the combustion action, such that and enable adequate scavenging to be done before an initial combustion action and disturbance of an airflow in the combustion chamber to be suppressed. an independent throttle engine including at least one cylinder and a crankshaft, each of the at least one cylinder being provided with an independent throttle valve and a combustion chamber disposed inside the cylinder, the independent throttle engine being configured to output power through the crankshaft;
