The Aprilia SL750 Shiver was a naked standard motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 2007 and produced until 2016, when it was replaced by the Aprilia Shiver 900. It was also available in a partially faired version named Shiver 750 GT that debuted in 2009.
The SL750 Shiver was the first production motorcycle that incorporated the ride-by-wire technology on a 90-degree V-twin engine for the first time. The bike's instrument panel featured comprehensive gauges, including a gear indicator.
In addition, the ride-by-wire system provided three power settings: Sport, Touring, and Rain. Sport mode offered maximum power and torque, Touring mode limited the responsiveness, and Rain mode provided 25 percent less torque.
In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia SL750 Shiver, a naked motorcycle that is easy to understand and operate. The bike could also be lots of fun in the hands of more experienced riders.
The bike was built around a steel trellis frame with a 43 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front, offering 120 mm of travel, and an aluminum swingarm coupled to an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering 130 mm of travel.
As for performance, the 2007 Aprilia Shiver 750 had installed a 750cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine at its core, delivering 95 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm and 81 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
