The Aprilia Pegaso 650ie is an intriguing motorcycle that defies categorization, offering a perfect blend of on- and off-road capabilities.
With its liquid-cooled, double overhead camshaft 652cc engine, the Pegaso 650ie delivers a respectable 47hp at the crankshaft. In reality, this translates to around 35hp at the rear wheel, placing it firmly in the middleweight class alongside other notable competitors.
One of the standout features of the Aprilia is its substantial 21-litre fuel capacity, allowing for up to 300km of riding without refuelling, making long-distance touring a breeze. The sophisticated twin-injector EFI and engine management system ensures optimal fuel delivery, while the five-speed gearbox provides smooth shifting, if somewhat agricultural in operation.
Riding the Pegaso 650ie is an immersive experience, with a maximum cruising speed of around 120kph before vibrations and fuel economy begin to suffer.
