The Aprilia Pegaso 650 is a street bike that looks and feels more like a supermoto bike.
It is relatively lightweight, easy to handle and thanks to its lower seat position, the Aprilia Pegaso 650 is a viable option for short riders.
The bike comes with the same engine as the Yamaha MT-03 and Yamaha XT660X, which is one of the most reliable single-cylinder engines out there.
All of these attributes make the Aprilia Pegaso 650 a perfect motorcycle for beginners.
