| Aprilia's Pegaso is re-born for a new generation of style-conscious funky stunters, and it's not half bad for the rest of us, either. The road-ready supermoto just got practical. If a new bike launch's opulence is a measure of the importance of that machine to its manufacturer, then the Pegaso 650 Strada must rank as Quite Important to Aprilia. Either that or, by presenting the new supermoto street tool to the world's press in one of the fanciest hotels I've been allowed into, Aprilia are making the point that their money concerns of recent times are well and truly behind them. Perhaps both. On the face of it, an update of the Pegaso 650 single-cylinder big trailie-style stalwart of Aprilia's range doesn't strike the casual observer as a tool worthy of great attention. But it's got history. Big singles have always been big business in mainland Europe, and the Pegaso 600 was the firm's first big bike. In the past 15 years it has sold over 50,000 units in various incarnations. This ve | |
