presentation of the 650 Pegaso ie 2001
the Pegaso is a handsome, well-designed trail bike with all the charm of Italian production. Adopting fuel injection since 2001, it has also lost its inverted fork in favor of a classic but more efficient model.
suspension travel has been reduced, and the seat is deeper. A good point for the Pegaso, whose seat is now more accessible - a real improvement when riding around town.
its 5-valve DOHC single-cylinder engine comes from Rotax, which also manufactures the engine for the BMW F 650. But the 2 mills have their own specific personalities. Ready to take on the open road, the trail allows you to set off far and wide. The range is generous, and the equipment (such as the standard luggage rack, or the optional side cases and center stand) easily convince you to hit the road. A designated rival to the BMW F 650 and Suzuki Freewind, it add that desirable Italian touch.

Beware of obsolete braking... Very treacherous, tends to lock up quickly and is not very effective. You quickly reach your limits when cornering, and I quickly rubbed the footbraces without forcing the inclination.
A very correct and reliable motorcycle. Responsive at low revs (single cylinder). It's my first bike and I'm very happy with it. Having already ridden an A2-bridged Z650 with a friend, the Pegaso has a lot to offer in terms of acceleration and pick-up compared with the pretty Kawazaki.
A good bike to get used to and learn to anticipate ;) Rating : 3/5 Respond to Jessy39
