Aprilia Pegaso Wallpapers

Aprilia Pegaso Superbikes; photo wallpapers: [br]Top speed: 176 km/h (110mph); [br]Engine type: 652cc, L/c single-cylinder, five-valve, SOHC; [br]Maximum power: 37kW (49bhp) at 6250rpm; [br]Frame type: twin-spar aluminium; [br]Type size: front 100/90 19, rear 130/80 17; [br]Final drive: chain; [br]Gearbox: five-speed; [br]Weight: 175 kg (385lb).[br]A [br] motorcycle that provides a good mix of acceptable performance on both bush [br] trails and tarmac makes for a versatile adventure machine. [br] Motorcycles that offer these benefits can be [br] split in two camps. Bikes such as the DR650 Suzuki, F650 BMW, XR650L Honda and KLR 650 [br] Kawasaki have large single cylinder engines and [br] are the 'relative' lightweights. While [br] multi-cylinder machines such as Triumph's Tiger, Cagiva's Navigator, [br] BMW's R1150GS and Suzuki's V-Strom are members of the heavyweight [br] class. Aprilia offers [br] machines in both those categories; the ETV 1000 Caponord uses [br] a 998cc V-Twin engine and is the bigger machine. While at the [br] lighter end of the scales is the Pegaso 650 [br] model, which I sampled during a recent trip to [br] New South Wales. The [br] Pegaso's 652cc powerplant is liquid-cooled and features double overhead [br] camshafts operating on five radial valves. Aprilia claim 47hp from [br] the big single. In the real world this [br] translates to around 35hp at the rear wheel. All [br] machines in this class are fairly equal in performance at around that [br] mark, 35hp at the wheel, no matter what the makers claim. The test machine had a [br] nice set of Staintune mufflers fitted but still seemed top get a bit [br] breathless at higher revs. One feature that the Aprilia does have over [br] the competition is a large 21-litre fuel [br] capacity which provides for a genuine 300km tank range [br] if riding conservatively.  A sophisticated twin-injector EFI and [br] engine management system ensures the right amount of fuel and air is [br] provided to the engine.[br]Five gears are available and the box makes [br] for reasonable shifting.  It is maybe a little agricultural in [br] operation but works well enough and missed shifts are a rare occurrence.  Around 120kph is about the maximum [br] cruising speed that remains manageable, above that the vibrations and fuel [br] economy take a dive for the worse. The engine does have a balancer shaft, but, [br] like all big singles, it does vibrate more than [br] would be preferable. Luckily the rider is isolated from [br] most of this with no annoying oscillations coming through the bars [br] or pegs. Unfortunately the same can't be said of [br] the seat. This is one area of rider comfort that [br] could be improved, but again, most of the opposition suffers [br] the same foible.  But the Pegaso is at the [br] worse end of that scale.[br]
