Aprilia Shiver 750
The 750 V-twin from Aprilia Motorcycles
Aprilia Shiver 750, for a Practical Motorcycle, the Aprilia sure doesn't skimp on looks or fun.
from Ridermagazine
"Out in the twisties in the Sport mode the Shiver feels taut, the engine strong, its quick turning inhibited somewhat by its height and weight. Of course, by being tall there’s no problem with cornering clearance. Quick torque propels it out of turns, and those triple discs haul it back down with precision."
from UltimateMotorcycle
"First shots are rarely bullseyes. However, the Shiver’s engine is nothing short of spectacular. The V-twin has an extraordinarily wide powerband, and a power delivery that ranges from placid in the Rain mode to cracking in the Sport mode.Truly,the Shiver is a three-in-one motorcycle. All it takes is letting the motor settle down to idle, then by flicking the start button, the digital dash readout cycles through R-T-S (Rain, Touring, and Sport). With upright, supermoto-lite ergonomics and a tall, hard seat, the Shiver puts you in a sporting mindset instantly. Fire it up, and the sound emitting from the stainless steel exhaust system is throaty and dynamic. "

"What you see here might be the perfect antidote to the 600cc sportbike. Riding the Shiver is an opportunity to be sporty and stylish but without the cramped knees and sore wrists of a supersport machine. "
from Cycleworld
"The 90-degree V-Twin powering the Shiver is an all-new design produced entirely in-house. The liquid-cooled, dohc engine is very compact, clean in appearance and incorporates what Aprilia calls "Ride by Wire" technology, otherwise known as an electronically controlled throttle similar to that used on the Yamaha YZF-R6."

I love the bike. It has looks and power. Best of all it is not a cookie cutter Japanese bike. The Japanese make a fine machine but every Tom, Dick and ...
