The Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada, a trail-oriented motorcycle introduced in 1998, was Aprilia's response to the growing demand for versatile and capable dual-sport machines. Built upon a robust steel frame and sporting a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 650cc engine, the Pegaso 650 Strada aimed to bridge the gap between on-road comfort and off-road prowess. The engine, with its generous 52 horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque, provided ample power for both highway cruising and tackling challenging terrain. Equipped with a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel, both shod with knobby tires, the Pegaso 650 Strada was designed to handle a variety of surfaces. Its long-travel suspension, featuring telescopic forks and a swingarm with a monoshock, ensured a comfortable ride over rough terrain. The generously sized fuel tank, with a capacity of 4.2 gallons, allowed for extended adventures without frequent refueling stops.

Beyond its mechanical prowess, the Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada offered a number of features that enhanced its appeal. Its low seat height and upright riding position made it accessible to riders of varying sizes and experience levels. The instrumentation, featuring a speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge, provided essential information at a glance. Additionally, the Pegaso 650 Strada had ample storage space, with a spacious seat compartment for carrying small items. However, like many early dual-sport motorcycles, the Pegaso 650 Strada was not without its limitations. Its weight, at 407 lbs, could be a hindrance in challenging off-road situations. Furthermore, its handling on tight, technical trails could be somewhat challenging due to its relatively long wheelbase and heavy weight. Nevertheless, the Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada remained a popular choice for adventure-seeking riders seeking a motorcycle that could handle a wide range of terrains and conditions.
