Overview
Introducing the 2009 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS, a compelling contender in the naked bike category that perfectly balances style, performance, and cutting-edge technology. With its aggressive stance and striking Code Orange finish, the Shiver 750 is designed for riders who crave an exhilarating experience without compromising on everyday usability. Aprilia has crafted a machine that not only turns heads but also delivers on the promise of spirited rides, making it a solid choice for both city commutes and weekend escapades. At the heart of the Shiver 750 lies a powerhouse 749.90 ccm V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a robust 95 horsepower at 9,000 RPM. This performance is coupled with a sophisticated ride-by-wire throttle system, ensuring seamless power delivery and precise control.

The Shiver 750 is packed with features that elevate the riding experience. Its advanced ABS system enhances safety by preventing wheel lock-up during hard braking, while the 43 mm upside-down front fork and aluminum alloy swingarm ensure a smooth ride over varying terrains. The combination of a 320 mm double disc front brake and a 240 mm rear brake provides excellent stopping power, critical for urban riding or spirited cornering. The bike’s adjustable seat height of 810 mm allows for a customizable fit, catering to riders of different statures, while the integrated engine management system ensures optimal performance with every twist of the throttle. **
