Before the Aprilia Shiver 750 was introduced in 2007, there was a gaping hole in Aprilia's sport bike lineup. When the Piaggio Group scooped up Moto Guzzi and Aprilia, Aprilia started manufacturing its own motors and rapidly filled the breach with the Shiver 750. The Shiver also had a variant called the Shiver 750 GT, which was launched in 2009. The instrument panel featured comprehensive gauges, which included a gear indicator.
Among its long list of noteworthy features is ride-by-wire throttle control with three riding modes for the booming 750 V-twin. The 4-valve, liquid-cooled, DOHC V-twin's 90-degree engine's ride-by-wire electronic throttle's three power settings significantly change the character of the bike. Sport mode was standard, with maximum power and torque which allowed it to hit hard and rev quickly; Touring mode scaled back the responsiveness making it a fast-and-friendly ride; Rain mode decreased torque by 25% and helped kept wheels on the road in the wet. However, regardless of which mode this bike was in, the engine always made a pleasant booming growl and acceleration was brisk notwithstanding the bike being heavyset at 490-pounds.
A fraction of the weight can be explained for due to the steel tubing used for the trellis on the mainframe and the subframe of the seat. The weight is only noticeable when pushing the bike around. Once underway, the Shiver handles quite adroitly. The 2016 Aprilia Shiver 750 was brimming with high-tech beauties, allowing it to be a highly versatile sport bike able to take on conditions ranging from rain to challenging high-speed back roads.
