The Soul of the ’80s and ’90s Reawakened

The 500F LAMS takes its look from the Japanese naked bikes of the ’80s and ’90s, with a round LED headlight, a classic fuel tank and a clean tail section. Underneath is a 470 cc inline-four, with power limited to under 35 kW for learner and restricted licence riders. The 795 mm seat height and upright riding position make it easy to feel at home from your first ride.

FEEL A PULSED BEAT

THE INLINE-FOUR, REBORN

The 500F LAMS uses the same 470 cc inline-four as the full power 500F, with output limited to under 35 kW to meet LAMS. Power delivery is smooth and dense, paired with a specially tuned exhaust note that carries the character of the classic four-cylinder bikes it’s inspired by.

Timeless Design, Modern Comfort

The 500F LAMS engine, chassis and styling were never developed in isolation. Power delivery, handling and design all work as one, so the character you feel in the exhaust note is matched by the confidence you feel through the bars, and the styling that catches your eye holds up the moment you throw a leg over it.

Performance Features

Every detail of the 500F LAMS was chosen with the rider in mind. From an engine built to run true year after year, to modern electronics that quietly look after you, these are the features that let you enjoy the ride without a second thought.

Built to Last

A forged piston, copper-based bearing bush and fracture-split connecting rod give the 500F LAMS’s inline-four the strength to handle years of ownership.

Goes and Stops

Dual 300 mm floating front discs with a direct-push master cylinder bring strong, predictable stopping power within easy reach.

Everything You Never Have to Think About

Fuel injection, switchable ABS, traction control, selectable riding modes, tyre pressure monitoring and full LED lighting all work together in the background.

Comfort, Considered

Built on the same platform as the sport-focused 500RR, the 500F LAMS has a more relaxed and natural riding position, with a 795 mm seat height.

Every Detail, True to Its Origin

Round chrome mirrors, an authentic UJM-style fuel tank, a classic round headlight and a polished exhaust bring the era’s design language back in full.

The 500F LAMS combines timeless naked bike styling with modern engineering, in a motorcycle that’s equally enjoyable on the daily commute or a weekend ride, and approved for learner and restricted licence riders.

LAMS stands for Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme. It allows riders on a learner or restricted licence to ride motorcycles that have been approved under the scheme.

Engine output on the 500F LAMS is limited to under 35 kW to meet LAMS. The frame, suspension, brakes, styling and electronics are shared with the full power 500F.

Without full fairings, a naked motorcycle offers a more upright riding position, excellent visibility and a greater sense of connection with the road. The 500F LAMS delivers the comfort and practicality riders appreciate every day.
