APRILIA Pegaso 600 (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Pegaso line comprised several models with different engine displacements. The first model was the Pegaso 125, made from 1989 to 1995, followed by the Pegaso 600 in 1990, the Pegaso 50 in 1992, and the Pegaso 650 in 1992, created in Strada, Trial, and Factory versions.

The Aprilia Pegaso was a dual-purpose machine with light off-road capabilities made 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.

In 1992, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Pegaso 600, a motorcycle in its third consecutive year of production. The bike was suitable for all riders, from beginner to more experienced ones.

The motorcycle packed standard fittings, 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.

All bits and pieces were mounted on the steel frame, including the suspension system, which comprised a hydraulic inverted fork on the front with 203 mm of travel and an APS monoshock on the rear with 203 mm of wheel travel, providing optimum handling.

As for power, the 1992 Aprilia Pegaso 600 had installed a 562cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine at its core, boasting 45 hp at 7,000 rpm and 49 Nm (36 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
