The 2012 Factory came near the end of the Pegaso line and kept the established recipe: a Euro 3 fuel-injected 659 cc single in a steel open-cradle frame, 17-inch wheels and a radial four-piston front caliper. It sat between a dedicated supermotard and a conventional commuter, offering sharp handling with a modest, easy-going power delivery.
