APRILIA Shiver Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

Powered by a new twin-cylinder engine, the naked bike from Noale grows in engine capacity to guarantee more torque and more fun. New performance combined with an absolutely top shelf frame for a rideability that raises the bar to new heights in the naked sport bike segment. Aprilia Shiver 900 evolves the original project of a motorcycle that, from its first appearance on the scene in 2007, marked a turning point as the first factory bike fitted with Ride-by-wire technology to manage engine throttle valve electronics.

The 2015 MY Aprilia Shiver 750 sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 749cc L-twin capable of producing 96 horsepower and 81 Nm of torque. The brakes are an interesting feature on the Shiver.
