They use the 650 rotax engine and make about 50bhp. Meant to be comfy, the styling isn't to everyones taste. Will feel a bit wheezy after an RF600, but good for town work and comfy on the long travel suspension.

thanks,im getting bad aches after an hour on my rf,maybe because im a big lad,i hear the pegaso is pretty torque-y low end which sounds ok for me,i know the pegaso wont be that quick top end but 100 is enough for me.

do you know if they are reliable?

I was looking at one before the Gixxer, they've just been slated in my view. Low power, torque aint great, engine isn't amazing and there are plenty comfier bikes out there.
Have a go on a VFR750, more upright than the RF with a better engine and proven reliability.
