On the Pegaso:
Maybe I'm confused here. In the first post Davebetty said his Peg uses the Yamaha 660 motor? What year is his bike?

It was also mentioned later that the Pegaso (early versions I guess) were the same as the Funduro/F650 BMW. Same Rotax motor. Since we only got the Peg here in USA for a few years (late 90's, early 2000's only) I always assumed they ALL used the Rotax motor?

When did they change over to Yamaha 660 motor? Why?
From everything I have ever heard ... that 660 motor is a bit heavy but very reliable, no? I've NO IDEA about the rest of the bike ... I did not even know Aprilia still made it ... so I'm out of touch on this bike. Can someone fill in the blanks?

Despite Ted's comments I feel DaveBetty has a decent chance of making it.
After all, he's owned the bike a long time, knows it well and most likely has discovered most of the weak points ... or at least knows about them? Even unreliable bikes can do well ... once you've fixed everything that breaks!

Good luck DaveBetty! (carry extra fuel!)
