| ALL BIKES OF THIS ilk are misunderstood. People think they are made for wealthy learners to stutter around on, with the derestriction kit as a plaything to be sneaked on without telling anyone, but this isn't true. Bikes like the Pegaso are just not designed for learners. transferred to a Yamaha XT600. This is a lot easier to ride than a Pegaso 125: it has a lower seat height and enough power all the way through the rev range to be useful. Highly-tuned 125s, even clever ones like the Pegaso, do not have get-you-out-of-trouble power on tap. The meek shall inherit the earth but until they do they'll have a crap time on a motorbike which needs aggressive clutch slip. The Aprilia behaved like an expert's mount and the XT seemed docile in comparison. Balance, turn-in and stability were superb on the Italian bike: point and go, against the Yam's wave in the general direction and lope around like a big dog sniffing the air. In all its upside-down glory, the front suspension was a bit stick | |
