APRILIA Shiver 750 ABS (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, in addition to the standard model, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS, which, as its name says, came loaded with additional safety equipment.

Besides the ABS system, the bike retained the sporty character and maneuverability of the 2008 base model without any other modifications. It packed the latest two-channel ABS system and brought even more control in the hands of a skilled rider.

The Aprilia SL750 Shiver was a naked standard machine made 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 bike was built around a modular steel trellis frame with a 43 mm inverted front fork offering 120 mm of travel and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing 130 mm of travel.

The braking power was handled by two 320 mm brake discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a single 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear. The latest two-channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) enhanced the stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2008 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS retained the same power specifications as the base model. Powered by a 750cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine, the bike delivered 95 hp at 9,000 rpm and 81 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
