Overview

Introducing the 2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS, a striking naked bike that effortlessly blends performance with style. With its muscular stance and aggressive lines, the Shiver 750 embodies the spirit of Italian motorcycling, designed for those who crave an exhilarating ride. Positioned in the competitive naked bike segment, it appeals to both seasoned riders and newcomers looking for a versatile motorcycle that excels in urban environments and on winding country roads alike. The Shiver’s unique blend of power, agility, and cutting-edge technology ensures it stands out in a crowded marketplace, making it a must-consider for any motorcycle enthusiast. At the heart of the Shiver 750 is a robust 749.90cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling 95 horsepower at 9,000 RPM. This powerhouse is paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, ensuring you have the right gear for any riding scenario. The engine's 11.0:1 compression ratio and advanced ride-by-wire fuel injection system not only enhance responsiveness but also provide an exhilarating throttle response that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Coupled with a lightweight chassis that weighs in at just 193 kg (425.5 lbs), the Shiver provides a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4922 HP/kg, ensuring that every twist of the throttle translates into immediate acceleration. The 43 mm upside-down front fork and adjustable rear suspension offer an impressive 120 mm and 130 mm of travel, respectively, allowing riders to tackle both urban obstacles and winding backroads with confidence. The Shiver 750 boasts a suite of features that elevate the riding experience. The modular tubular steel frame, reinforced with aluminum side plates, provides a solid foundation while allowing for a removable rear subframe, making maintenance a breeze. Safety is paramount with the inclusion of Continental two-channel ABS which offers precise braking performance, complemented by double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear. The bike's fuel capacity of 15 liters (3.96 gallons) strikes a balance between range and weight, ensuring you won't find yourself at the pump too often. The electric starter adds convenience, while the available color options in striking silver and sleek black cater to varying aesthetic preferences. **
