I must admit, I think Mr Sidekick has possibly found himself a real hidden gem there! Having seen the bike in the flesh, it really did impress me. Especially as it is powered by the same, highly regarded and proven Yamaha engine as the XT660Z Tenere. Which is a very reliable engine and relatively easy and cheap to maintain yourself. In fact, any half decent mechanic, anywhere in the world could have you up and running again in no time! This is why the Tenere has been a popular choice of many round the world adventure riders over many years. There’s no such thing as the perfect bike, a few little changes like footpegs, Seat, barkbusters etc are tweaks riders would do to any bike! The main thing is, getting out and using the thing and not just keeping a garage queen to wash and polish on a Sunday! Good buy Dazzler dude. 👍 Regards, Dazza. 🇬🇧
I am driving this bike since 2016. No problems at all. I love how easy is driving in the city. Two exhausts are beautiful,backfire is a piece of art and very good acceleration. No good at low RPM because it shakes a lot and above 160 you are not feeling very safe
Great purchase for the SideKick.... No fuel gauge on the Bonnie either really get where you're coming from! Great Video HH looking forward to adventures with this pairing. (Hopefully get the bonnie to the party sometime soon!)
What a great review. I have been looking for my first 'big' 'road' bike (I have a WR250 for laning), that can cope with a commute and a few larger trips. Been looking at the BMW F/G650GS single, the G310GS and some others (KLE500, Transalp etc..) I had come to the conclusion that either a 2000- BMW 650, or the KLE was the answer, but the BMWs hold their money and the KLE is a bit 'old' in terms of tech. (The Himmy is out as I have a 34 inside leg and I look like a grasshopper sat on it!). Budget is c.£3k. Discovered the Pegaso last night - Looks like the right combo of modern, tall, reliable and cheap for me. On the hunt now!
Always nice to see the sidekick happy 😎👌🏍 good choice a single thumper will always bring a smile to ones face 🙏 looking forward to the big adventure 11/10 👍🇬🇧🏍🇬🇧
Ooh nice. I had the strada version myself which is more supermoto ish... Always been curious about the trail. This might have to be my next bike! Thanks guys... Do another review after putting some serious miles on it please.. Oh and BTW, the strada does have a fuelometer
Had 1 of these bikes it was fantastic, its got a 660 Yamaha made engine! From The Yamaha xt 660 trail they won many races! Great on petrol 60/65 mpg driving sensible! Really comfortable bolt up right riding! they had a recall, the bike could cut out on you! But Aprila put it right for nothing! think it was to do with fuel injection! Only reason i got rid of bike iwas a little short at 5ft 6in on tip toe! Double stainless still exhaust pipes! Plus brembo brakes. I'd recommend getting one! not many about of these trail versions around, more strada version around! My bike was 2008.
I like this bike. I keep querying youtube to see if anyone published new video on Pegaso Trail. There is perfect one on marketplace right now, but I can't sell my Kymco Dowtown to afford Pegaso 😕
Hello 😁 Yes I think it would be great. Here is a playlist to an adventure we did and includes some green lanes/Off roading. 👍 Big Adventure 2: th-cam.com/play/PLRUtR8JRmF7ozv232VHFv1ydRui-flyjk.html
Minarelli engine same as in Yam XT660 Tenere & a few MZ models as well I think. Engine supposed to be just about unburstable. The Aprilia's have a few known niggles - electrics and fuel pump. I've just bought a Strada (Italian for street)...
A great bike. It has a personality of its own though, you better not put her at less that 3.5k rpm (even more important off road) or you risk it missbehaving. I had some issues like plastics getting rotted which i just put tape on and they've held for 3y now. It also has nice power for highways
Got myself a Brixton bx125 in August. Nice little bike. It is my first! Bought it used for 2000€ (in Greece) and now I'm already bored of it. I'm looking for an aprilia pegaso now and I saw your review. Truly one of the best reviews I have come across. I'm 1,86m and 105kg. Would you recommend the pegaso for me?
Absolutely, it seems to be a great bike at a great price. Aprilia seem to have put alot into it. I'd always say test ride first to make sure you're happy, but I'm sure you will be!! 👍
When you’re riding an overweight 23HP starter bike, maybe a little bit more humility might endear you to your YT audience. Will consider subscribing when you figure that out. The Pegaso is a very good bike. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to comment 😁 please subscribe so you don't miss out 😉
I have a 2007 Pegaso 650 Trail, I love it. It’s great to see it reviewed well at long last. It’s a great ADV and a real hidden gem in my opinion 😎

Congrats sidekick, glad your back in the big bike game 👍👍
Nice bike sidekick. Looking forward to seeing you and helmet head adventures on the bigger bikes

Its normal.its 1 cylinder bike..I will buy this bike tommorow and i think that is a great VFM
Great purchase for the SideKick.... No fuel gauge on the Bonnie either really get where you're coming from! Great Video HH looking forward to adventures with this pairing. (Hopefully get the bonnie to the party sometime soon!)
It’s got the pannier frames too. I have the factory version of the strada
What a great review.

That's not to bad condition for its age. Good buy dude.
That road in yorkshire dales you rode on your himalayan was the last time i did it on my red pegaso trail...that i bought 2007 loved the bike...
It's becoming a pretty impressive bike we just filmed an upcoming adventure and the bike did so well.
Always nice to see the sidekick happy 😎👌🏍 good choice a single thumper will always bring a smile to ones face 🙏 looking forward to the big adventure 11/10 👍🇬🇧🏍🇬🇧
Cheers buddy 😁👍
Great looking bike and great colour!!

Nice bike Sidekick 👏👍
nice to see a sidekick bike that isn't strewn around a shed with an Ikea assembly instruction manual on the floor next to it.
🤣😂 Very ture 😁👍

Always a great review and fun 🤩
Thank u 😁
How many bikes 🤣 Good to see he has one working 🤣😂
There's a fuel gauge I believe on the Strada & the Factory..
Great review boys 👍🏻
Thanks 👍

This bike have Minarelli Yamaha Engine right?
will be intresting to see how the bike works out over time.
Upcoming adventure coming out 😉
I am interested to buy a used one 25.000km 2006. I want it for mountain and city
Do you think thtat it goes on mountain?

@@HelmetHead Great travel, and beautiful places. It looks like it has no worries. Also the same for the Royal Enfield.Thanks!
No fuel gauge? I own a 2005 Strada and it does have digital bars for fuel gauge... That's weird...
Hi! Nice video! Can i hear your honest opinion on this pegaso vs f650gs '03-06' ? For the same price which one of them is the better choice? Thanks!
In my opinion it’s pretty much the same bike so I would just buy the best one for price and condition. 👍
Does It have inner tubes or it's tubeless tires? What's the MPG, and how tall is the rider?
Minarelli engine same as in Yam XT660 Tenere & a few MZ models as well I think. Engine supposed to be just about unburstable. The Aprilia's have a few known niggles - electrics and fuel pump. I've just bought a Strada (Italian for street)...
Hello. How similar our reviews are. I also shot a review on this motorcycle and also used a drone. It's interesting to see, well done.
A great bike. It has a personality of its own though, you better not put her at less that 3.5k rpm (even more important off road) or you risk it missbehaving. I had some issues like plastics getting rotted which i just put tape on and they've held for 3y now. It also has nice power for highways
Fits 660 X Z and R 👍

Φιλε μου το Brixton που σου φανηκε γενικα; Προβληματα;
Italian IS posh man ! :D
I have a 2005 Pegaso Strada, not that different really! It does have a fuel gauge, its a waste of time but its there!
What has come over the Sidekick? It’s not a bike in a box. 🤣
🤣 Maybe his a new man 😉
Did I hear a big adventure ? 🙇😉
You did 😉 It's gonna be good 👍
@@HelmetHead excellent !

The Pegaso is a very good bike. Thank you for sharing.
A little more systematic review, a standard with specs, facts and caracter set up with chapters would be nice.
