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.

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.
