2011 Aprilia Pegaso 650 Specs News and Review




















Aprilia has led the field in big singles for years now. The Pegaso 650 was Aprilia’s first ever big bike, and is still one of the best sellers in its class. In fact, the Pegaso has been the reference point for over-600 cc singles ever since its introduction.
But Aprilia’s R&D department never rests on its laurels. Determined to stay at the top, Aprilia is proud to present the latest innovative, high-tech Pegaso 650, the bike that sets new standards for big singles. A modern, four-valve, dry sump engine with electronic fuel injection, 44 mm throttle body, ultra-light wheels and sports brakes are just some of its technical features. Small wonder then, that the Pegaso 650 is the pace-setter the others will struggle to beat.

Fashions change, technologies develop, and performance improves, but Aprilia’s panache for creativity and flair for design remain unmistakably constant. In the Pegaso 650 technology and design have a single mission: to deliver maximum riding enjoyment. The innovative Pegaso 650 is the very definition of fun on two wheels, an urban supermotard designed for maximum riding satisfaction on all types of road, and light and versatile enough to guarantee it.
Every mile you ride on a Pegaso 650 is a mile of concentrated motorcycling pleasure.
But beware! The Pegaso 650 is so agile, dynamic and fast that it can easily become addictive. Made to master the hairpins of mountain roads and trails, the Pegaso 650 brings you the unbeatable performance and manoeuvrability and the thrilling ride of a real sports bike.
Its rideability around town never ceases to amaze either. With a total steering angle of 76° (38°+38°), the Pegaso 650 flicks through the traffic like a compact scooter. So even going to work can be fun!
The Pegaso 650 is a true chameleon: at the drop of a hat it can become a totally different bike. An optional windshield (adjustable to two positions) is available to turn it from an aggressive streetfighter into a road-hungry tourer.
The Pegaso 650’s supermotard soul really comes to the fore when you power through the bends of twisting mountain roads. The Aprilia Pegaso 650 brings thrilling sports performance to leisure riders and demanding, hardened bikers. Its limited weight and the way its muscular single cylinder engine delivers its power give you amazing performance on country roads, and, most important of all, inspire riders with the confidence to explore their limits in absolute safety. The Pegaso 650 never holds you back. Because it is so easy to ride and its engine and chassis so perfectly balanced, the Pegaso 650 redefines the concept of rideability that has always typified Aprilia’s supersports, headed by the flagship RSV 1000.
