Guide to LAMS-Approved Motorcycles from Japanese Auctions

LAMS Approved Motorcycles – At MY50.com, we understand that the road to finding the perfect motorcycle can be thrilling yet complex, especially when considering LAMS regulations. Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS) plays a crucial role in ensuring that learner and restricted license holders have access to motorcycles suitable for their experience level. Let’s dive into what LAMS-approved motorcycles are and how you can acquire them through Japanese Motorcycle Auctions with MY50.com.

Understanding LAMS: A Roadmap for Learner and Restricted Riders

LAMS is a comprehensive system designed to identify motorcycles appropriate for learners and restricted class 6 license holders based on their experience levels. It determines suitable bikes by evaluating the overall performance capability, ensuring a safe and controlled introduction to motorcycling. Initiated as part of the road safety strategy Safer Journeys, LAMS sets the standard for motorcycle suitability.

Two Categories of LAMS Motorcycles

1. LAMS-Approved Motorcycles: The Green Light for Riders

  • Engine Capacity of 250cc and Under: LAMS-approved motorcycles cover all bikes with engine capacities of 250cc and under, excluding those listed on the LAMS-prohibited list.
  • Pre-1960 Classics: Vintage enthusiasts rejoice! Motorcycles manufactured prior to 1960 with an engine capacity of 660cc and under fall into this category.
  • Electrically Powered Motorcycles: For those embracing green technology, any motorcycle wholly powered by electricity and approved by the Transport Agency fits the bill.
  • 250cc to 660cc Standard Models: Motorcycles falling within this range must remain in standard form, unmodified to increase the power-to-weight ratio.

2. LAMS-Prohibited Motorcycles: The Caution Zone

Navigating Modifications: Staying LAMS-Compliant

Whether you’re riding a 250cc or a 660cc LAMS-approved motorcycle, modifications play a role in personalizing your ride. However, it’s essential to adhere to LAMS regulations.

Modifications for 250cc or Less Non-Prohibited Motorcycles

  • Allowed Modifications: You can personalise your motorcycle without exceeding LAMS limits. This includes a full exhaust system, fairings, wheels, lights, and other minor changes.
  • Prohibited Modifications: Stay clear of big bore or stroker kits, nitrous oxide injection, turbochargers, superchargers, or any modification intended to increase power or significantly reduce motorcycle weight.

Modifications for 250cc to 660cc Learner-Approved Motorcycles

  • Allowed Modifications: Similar to the smaller category, modifications such as a slip-on muffler, fairings, wheels, lights, and minor adjustments that don’t impact the power-to-weight ratio are permitted.
  • Prohibited Modifications: Steer clear of modifications increasing engine capacity, ignition or fuel supply tuning, non-slip-on exhaust systems, turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous oxide injection, or any modification aimed at boosting power or reducing motorcycle weight.

Adding Your Motorcycle to the List

  • LAMS-Approved List: If you believe a motorcycle should be on the LAMS-approved list, submit a formal application to the Transport Agency. Include vehicle specifications from the manufacturer.
  • LAMS-Prohibited List: For motorcycles with an engine capacity of less than 250cc, submit a formal application if you believe they should be on the LAMS-prohibited list.
