APRILIA Pegaso 650ie (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Pegaso 650ie, an adventure machine manufactured for over thirteen years, suited for those riders who prefer agility and maneuverability over brute strength.

The 2004 model came with the same package as the previous one, featuring the same visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications.

Visually, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a half-fairing with integrated turn signals, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab rails, a luggage rack, an engine plate, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a 45 mm upside-down adjustable Marzocchi fork with 175 mm of travel on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

The braking power was achieved by a 300 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel and a 220 mm brake disc mounted on the rear wheel. The front disc was engaged by a two-piston caliper, and the rear one was squeezed by a single-piston caliper.

In the performance department, the 2004 Aprilia Pegaso 650ie had installed a 652cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 49 hp with maximum strength at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
