1993 Aprilia Pegaso 650 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Aprilia's allround motorcycle lineup, the 1993 Aprilia Pegaso 650 features a 652 cc (39.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 48 HP (35 kW) at 6,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 59 Nm (43.5 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 73.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Pegaso 650 measures 200 kg (441 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.24 HP/kg (4.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 846 mm (33.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.22 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 268 km (167 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).
