Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience, since the tall seat, supermoto-style handling and modest but punchy V-twin power reward confident, active riding rather than passive cruising.
PurposeBuilt as a road-going supermoto, this bike is happiest carving tight, twisty tarmac and darting through urban traffic rather than covering long highway distances or serious dirt trails.
Rider FitThe 780 mm seat height and narrow, upright ergonomics suit taller riders and demand reasonable leg length and fitness for confident stops and low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterIt has a light, flickable, aggressive character with sharp street-focused handling, strong brakes, and a torquey V-twin feel more than outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders wanting a relaxed two-up tourer, a genuine off-road machine, or a top-speed highway cruiser.

2012 Aprilia Pegaso 650 Factory Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Aprilia Pegaso 650 Factory, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
