APRILIA Pegaso 650ie (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Pegaso was a motorcycle made 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 and was available in several displacements.

In 2005, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia Pegaso 650ie, the largest displacement model in the range. It was Aprilia’s entry into the middleweight trial-style segment and was well-suited for town and back roads. Its off-road capabilities were limited.

The 2005 motorcycle came with the same package as the previous model, wearing the same visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

The Aprilia Pegaso 650 was a half-faired motorcycle that debuted in 1992 as the first motorcycle fitted with a double-spar aluminum frame and was fitted in 2001 with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system.

Aesthetically, the bike packed standard fittings, such as wire-spoke wheels, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a half fairing with a windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, an engine plate, a luggage rack, and a side stand.

In the performance department, the 2005 Aprilia Pegaso 650ie had installed a 652cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine at its core, fed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system. As for the power figures, the bike boasted 49 hp with maximum strength at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
