APRILIA Pegaso 125 (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1992, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia Pegaso 125, a small displacement motorcycle that debuted in 1989 and continued production until 1995. Compared to the previous model, the 1992 Pegaso 125 had several modifications.

Some changes included the more rounded external crankcase, improved gear selector and clutch pressure plate, reversed internal fourth and fifth gears, and moved the tachometer cable to the front of the clutch housing.

The Aprilia Pegaso was a dual-purpose motorcycle with light off-road capabilities manufactured by Aprilia from 1989 to 2011 as a replacement model for the Aprilia Tuareg. It was the first alternative to the classic desert-road enduro motorcycles with characteristics more suited for road use.

Aesthetically, the bike had standard features, such as a half-fairing with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a luggage rack, a high-mounted exhaust system, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike's braking power was handled by a 300 mm brake disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the 18-inch front wheel, while the rear 17-inch wheel was controlled by a 220 mm brake disc engaged by a single-piston caliper.

Power-wise, the 1992 Aprilia Pegaso 125 had its muscles from a 124cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 34 mm Dell'Orto carburetor. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 31 hp at 10,000 rpm and 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
