Overview

Introducing the 2012 Aprilia Pegaso 650 Factory, a stylish super motard that expertly blends spirited performance with versatility. This motorcycle is designed for riders who crave an exhilarating experience on both urban streets and winding backroads. With its rugged styling and aggressive stance, the Pegaso 650 Factory stands out in a crowded marketplace, appealing to those who seek not just a mode of transport but a true companion for adventure. Whether you're commuting through city traffic or exploring unpaved trails, this bike promises a ride that’s as thrilling as it is practical. At the heart of the Pegaso 650 Factory lies a robust 660cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a potent 48 horsepower at 6000 RPM and a torque-rich 59 Nm at just 5000 RPM. This powerplant, equipped with a sophisticated electronic fuel injection system and a 44 mm throttle body, ensures smooth acceleration and responsive handling. The compression ratio of 10.0:1 coupled with a five-speed gearbox allows riders to experience a broad power band, making it an agile performer in various riding conditions. The liquid-cooled engine not only maintains optimal operating temperatures but also contributes to the bike's lightweight feel, making it easy to maneuver in tight situations and during spirited rides. The Pegaso 650 Factory boasts several features that enhance its riding dynamics and comfort. The steel open cradle frame provides robust support while keeping the weight down, which is crucial for superb handling. Up front, a 45 mm fork and a Sachs hydraulic monoshock at the rear work in tandem to offer 140 mm and 130 mm of travel respectively, ensuring a plush ride over bumps and potholes. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring a 320 mm front disc paired with a four-piston radial caliper for strong stopping power. With a seat height of 780 mm and a ground clearance of 250 mm, this bike strikes a balance between accessibility and performance, making it suitable for a wide range of riders. **
