The 2007 Aprilia Shiver 750 is a naked sportsbike with some
serious Italian style.
The Shiver 750's gorgeous gold-colored aluminium trellis frame
leaves the all-new 95 horsepower, 59 ft lbs of torque, 90°
V-twin engine on show. The new engine features Aprilia's first
electronic throttle control available on a road bike.
The Aprilia Shiver 750 features cast aluminium wheels, radial
Brembo brakes with four piston calipers and braided lines, offset
canteliver monoshock, 43 mm upside-down front forks and a combined
analogue/digital dash, making the Aprilia Shiver 750 slightly
more expensive, yet far more exclusive, than its Japanese competitors
like the Honda CB600F Hornet and Yamaha Fazer.
In 2010 the Aprilia Shiver got a mild makeover which consisted
of a lower seat, repositioned foot pegs, different handlebars,
a narrower rear wheel, uprated brakes and slightly firmer suspension.
The bike also recieved mild cosmetic changes.

Review by: Carol Higer
The new Aprilia Shiver appeals to that part of my brain that
got me riding as a kid; it looks like a blast to ride. I'm still
a bit wary about all of these "under the saddle" exhaust systems
especially if a beautiful woman hops on the back. The concept
looks hip and sleek but as many of us know, even the lower slung
pipes can get uncomfortably hot especially in stop and go traffic.
Just because it can be done doesn't mean that it should.
Like the Aprilia Tuono, I believe the Shiver 750 will perform
as good as it looks. Looks are not everything but this bike
beats it's competition in the aesthetic department soundly.
The Fazer and the Hornet are just plain bland. I like the direction
Aprilia seems to be headed. If the workmanship is high and it
looks this good, I will buy.
