ALL BIKES OF THIS ilk are misunderstood. People think they are made for wealthy learners to stutter around on, with the derestriction kit as a plaything to be sneaked on without telling anyone, but this isn't true. Bikes like the Pegaso are just not designed for learners. Beginners should be transferred to a [[Yamaha XT600]]. This is a lot easier to ride than a Pegaso 125; it has a lower seat height and enough power all the way through the rev range to be useful. Highly-tuned 125s, even clever ones like the Pegaso, do not have get-you-out-of-trouble power on tap. The meek shall inherit the earth but until they do they'll have a crap time on a motorbike which needs aggressive [[clutch slip]]. | ALL BIKES OF THIS ilk are misunderstood.

The Pegaso's home is in town. Here comes some traffic, time to be thin. Point, go, stop, slip clutch, BZZZZT, go, stop (the brakes are OK), BZZZZT again and you aren't where you wanted to be but you've beaten everthing you've just been racing. An ideal urban guerilla's weapon. Not an ideal beginner's bike. | The Pegaso's home is in town. Here comes some traffic, time to be thin.
