The Pegaso 650 is a trail-styled motorcycle that embodies the perfect blend of on-road performance and off-road versatility. With its swoopy fairing hiding a powerful liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, this bike delivers almost 50bhp through a smooth five-speed gearbox. The Rotax-based design boasts a five-valve cylinder head, Sagem electronic fuel-injection, and a balance shaft to reduce vibration.
Its long-travel suspension, off-road styled tyres, and narrow chassis make the Pegaso an excellent choice for navigating tight back-roads and urban environments. Aftermarket hard luggage systems also transform it into a capable middle-distance tourer.
Whether you’re carving through twisties or tackling city streets, the Pegaso 650 is an exhilarating ride that demands to be experienced on its own merit, and for those who crave adventure without the need for extreme off-road exploits, this bike offers a thrilling combination of agility and comfort.
