APRILIA Pegaso 125 (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Pegaso was a small displacement motorcycle that debuted in 1989 and continued production until 1995. The bike was based on the Tuareg Wind, which retained the frame, chassis, and engine.

In 1994, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia Pegaso 125, a bike suited for novice riders, packing the same specifications as previous models, except for new color options.

For the first time, the bike's frame was black instead of ash grey, the fork sliders were black, the bodywork was painted white, dark blue, and cherry red, the headlight holder was magenta, and the seat was dark blue.

As for the visual department, the bike featured the same standard features as previous models, 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.

In the performance department, the 1994 Aprilia Pegaso 125 took its power from a 124cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 34 mm Dell'Orto carburetor feeding the piston, boasting 31 hp at 10,000 rpm and 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission that sent it to the rear end via a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to a top speed of 159 kph (99 mph).
