Bike Profile
The Aprilia Shiver SL750, released in 2007, is the first of Aprilias new models which aim to fill the gap between their small RS125 sportbike and the fierce RSV 1000R and it's market purpose is to compete with the most popular middleweight motorcycles - bikes like the Ducati Monster, Triumph Street Triple, Suzuki SV650 and Honda Hornet - and in truth Aprilia have hit the mark here.It's nimble, powerful, small enough for "playing on", can carve up twisties, is sturdy and reliable enough for the daily commute and with the addition of bags
and a larger screen can quite easily double up as an economical long distance tourer.
Ergonomics are also good and the new fuel injected 749cc V-twin motor produces 95bhp and 60ft lb of torque with a top speed of 130mph.
The motor is incredibly smooth throughout the rev range and there's enough power on tap for lively head down rides on the weekend.
An innovative and exciting bike by Aprilia which offers a real alternative to the existing heavy hitters of the middleweight league.
The Aprilia Shiver was very competitively priced when first released which is part of why the bike has become popular. If you want to buy nearly new then a used SL750 is a bike well worth looking into as you'll get a further reduction as the first owner wil take the depreciation hit for you.
Advantages: great styling, extremely versatile, smooth V-twin motor.
Disadvantages: Many calls for a 1200cc version of the same bike to add power across the rev range.
