He rode 650cc Triumph Thunderbird 6T, said to be his personal bike in the 1953 film The Wild One. There were a couple of Matchless bikes in the film with the logo turned upside down. That bike looks like one of them. A Matchless G9

The rear shocks look like the "jampot" type used by Matchless during the 1950's.

rl, I doubt anybody on here could help, but it's a Matchless G9. Or maybe a Vespa.

The OP wasn't asking what kind of bike it was. He already knows that now. He wanted to know if it was 500cc. Reading the post would help.
