Built around Aprilia's allround motorcycle platform, the 2008 Aprilia Pegaso 650 features a 660 cc (40.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 60.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,479 mm (58.2 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
