APRILIA PEGASO
Introduced in 1994, the Pegaso is a single cyclinder trail bike. Originally based on the the 650cc Austrian Rotax engine, which was fitted into the BMW F650. It is a lightweight, all-rounder, although biased towards the roads, & more comfortable on bumpy B-roads & mild tracks & trails than serious off road. The older Pegaso's are very good value.

PEGASO TUSCANY TIBET RAID

The Tibet appears to be more rugged, not the sump guard & different fairing, & is based on the Pegaso 650ie. Longer suspension, higher seat, bigger screen, knobbly tyres, aluminium top box, etc. Consider the Pegaso 650 Outback 2000.
