Two months ago I bought an Aprilia Pegaso 650, year 1998, drove 4500km to Corsica and Sardinia, 0% problems, 100% fun. Great vids!

...Don't tell me... I got her in 2010 with 64.000 km on the clock ( for 700 euro!), in Sicily. With my Irish partner, in 2019, we drove from Sicily to Ireland ( where we live now ) ...3000 Km , fully loaded! Now she has 112.000 Km . The Pegaso is very reliable bike, as long you know how to treat her. She Is very nice to drive and goes everywere - Best buy of my life! I enoyed your video! Thanks! - Uncaught Duo -

I bought a Pegaso 650 IE after watching your video. I actually wanted to get a Himalayan, but was doubting if I wanted to spend the money. Just a few rides and I was in love with the Pegaso. The seat is incredibly comfy (even on long hauls), and it just plows through mud and sand. It really is an incredible bike, and I wonder why it hasn't gotten more fandom. Thanks for this video for introducing me to my new love!

Thanks awesome to hear 👍🍻

I can confirm It's a good bike. I also have 2 of them here in NZ (one for parts) and I've taken them on some serious offroad. I have one set of rims with 50-50 tires and one set of 90-10 touring tires.

I've seen so many people hate on these bikes for no apparent reason and that's what kept me away from getting one.

It’s really a great bike for adventures but I’m a true believer that any bike can be. That’s why I’m currently riding the world on a Honda Monkey - Around The WORLD! kzread.info/head/PLRUtR8JRmF7oFIkBB_UQNNP8-Ss7rNFyu

i think it's because especially people hate italian made motorcycles/cars. They think they're unreliable and cheap. it's a common thing in europe to hate italian made vehicles

I owned a 2000 Aprilia Pegaso 650 as my first bike for 13 years, had some issues but a lot of great memories!

Great video again. Love the countryside around that area with the open fields.

Awesome video, proves you don't have to have an expensive bike to enjoy the trails!

I had an early one of those back in the day...brand new. Great bikes!

Love the bike and especially the sound.

I just picked one up noticing they were about 5/8 the price of a similar bmw model. sweet performing little bike and cheep, too

Rocky road. Why do I now fancy a chocolate, marshmallow, biscuit and raisin snack? 😂

Nice one. I do like a bike you have to work on, proper motorbike ownership

Looks like fun. Whereabouts are the green lanes that you used? Medbourne area?

Superb vid , DEEP water crossing!

I'm considering a 2000 model for £3000. It's mint. Very difficult since Covid to find a used bike for under £3000 the days unless it's rough or high mileage. Trouble is even though the clocks are in MPH the mileage goes up in KM. The HPI report flags up loads of MOT mileage discrepancies. Where testers have converted the KM or MPH and some haven't. That's the only problem come resale.

Test rode one a few days ago. Sounded good but way to much vibration

They are great bikes. I have a 2 Peggy’s .😂👍

Lovely vid. 👍

I’ve owned one for ca four years. Would give 3,2 points out of 5. Many many aspects that could be much better on these bikes. Seat is garbage, original screws that hold the plastic rubbed holes in radiator, usable rev range is short( constant gear switching needed), pain in the ass carb removal procedure etc etc.

Klr n this. I gota atk also ccm also used the rotax 604 belt driv. This is chain drive legit

Hey! great vids. Where are you guys. I’m looking for some mild trails to learn on and that looked great.
