Segment: All-road
Production years: 1999, 2000
The Aprilia Pegaso was a motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 1989 to 2011. It was one of the first alternatives to the classic desert-road enduro motorcycles with characteristics more suited to paved roads than off-road.
The Pegaso was available in a 50cc version manufactured from 1992 to 1995, 125cc made from 1989 to 1995, 600cc produced from 1992, and the 650 cc version made from 1995, available in Strada, Trial, and Factory versions since 2005.
In 1999, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Pegaso 650, Aprilia's entry into the middleweight trial-style segment. It was well-suited for town and back roads, but its off-road capabilities were limited.
Visually, the bike had standard features, such as a half-fairing with a windscreen, wire-spoke wheels, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a side stand, an engine plate, and an under-seat-mounted exhaust system.
For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 45 mm inverted Marzocchi adjustable fork with 175 mm of travel on the front and an adjustable APS monoshock on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.
The bike's 19-inch front wheel was controlled by a 300 mm disc engaged by a dual-piston caliper, while the 17-inch rear wheel was handled by a 220 mm brake disc coupled to a single-piston caliper.
As for power, the 1999 Aprilia Pegaso 650 was set in motion by a 6562cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 49 hp at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
