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

The Aprilia Tuareg started its journey in 1985 when the Italian maker released it into the market. It was a road desert motorcycle manufactured from 1985 until 1994, when it was replaced by the Aprilia Pegaso.

The bike was marketed in four displacements, like the 50 and 125cc two-stroke engines and 350 and 600cc four-stroke units. In addition, the maker introduced Rally and Wind versions, which were powered by various displacement engines.

In 1991, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia Tuareg 600 Wind, a gritty all-road motorcycle that was suitable for a wide variety of riders and handled various terrains. It was arguably the most powerful machine in its class and suited young and more seasoned riders.

Visually, the bike was identical to the previous model, packing standard fittings, like a half fairing, a dual round headlight system, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

As for the power figures, the 1991 Aprilia Tuareg 600 Wind had its soul brought to life by a 562cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine, boasting 46 hp with a peak force at 7,100 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was transmitted to a six-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel via a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to a top speed of 157 kph (98 mph).
