The Learner Approved Motorcycle
(LAM) scheme for novice riders commenced on 6 September 2002.
The scheme has progressively been extended and now applies to
provisional P1 and P2 riders.
The LAM scheme allows novice riders to ride moderately
powered motorcycles. These motorcycles:
- have an engine capacity up to and including 660ml and do
not exceed a power to weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per
tonne and,
- are listed in the publication known as ‘Approved
Motorcycles for Novice Riders’ published by the RTA.
The publication is updated as new models are approved by the
RTA. It lists the makes and models of all motorcycles that can
be ridden by learner and provisional riders. You can view or
download the current list by clicking the link below.

provisional rider you must not ride a motorcycle that is not
shown on thes list.
