Approved motorcycles for novice riders

Bookmark and Share

The following motorcycles with engine capacities of 261 – 660cc are approved under LAMS.These motorcycles must be in standard form as produced by the manufacturer. Any motorcycle modified in a way that increases its power-to-weight ratio is not LAMS approved regardless of whether it appears on the list.

Learner and probationary riders are only allowed to ride motorcycles and scooters on the list of approved motorcycles for novice riders under the Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS).

LAMS gives novice riders access to a range of motorcycles and scooters that are appropriate to their level of experience and size. The LAMS list includes moderately powered models with an engine capacity up to and including 660cc which do not exceed a power-to-weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne. The LAMS list will be updated as new models are approved by VicRoads.

In addition to models in the list, all motorcycles manufactured prior to 1960 with a cubic capacity up to and including 660cc and currently available fully electric powered motorcycles will be approved for use by learner and novice riders.


For further information view LAMS Q&A's [PDF 92.5KB, 4pp]


It is your responsibility to make sure that you only ride an approved motorcycle as produced by the manufacturer without any modifications designed to increase it's power to weight ratio.


All motorcycles with engine capacities of 0 – 260cc are approved under LAMS with the exception of the following models:
