APRILIA Pegaso 600 (1991-1992) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1991, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Pegaso 600, a middle-class dual-purpose machine in its second year of production. It was suitable for all riders, from the novice to the more seasoned ones.

The Aprilia Pegaso was first presented to the public in 1989 in a 125cc form. Later, it was available with a 50cc engine from 1992 to 1995, 600cc from 1990, and 650cc from 1992 in several versions.

In addition, the 1991 motorcycle came with the same package as the previous model. It packed the exact technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a half fairing with a small rectangular headlight, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a small luggage rack, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, an engine cover, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was built around a steel frame with a hydraulic inverted fork on the front with 203 mm of travel and an APS monoshock on the rear with 203 mm wheel travel, providing optimum handling.

In the performance department, the 1991 Aprilia Pegaso 600 had its heartbeat set by a 562cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine, boasting 45 hp at 7,000 rpm and 49 Nm (36 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
