14 October 2007 - Aprilia

APRILIA’S EXCITING NEW MODEL ARRIVING NOW

Aprilia’s latest exciting new model, the SL750 Shiver, is arriving at Aprilia showrooms now, with test rides available from selected dealers. Riders taking a test ride and then completing a test report form will be entered into a free prize draw to win Aprilia Racing gear.

The Shiver looks aggressive, but at the same time is clean-cut and elegant, in perfect Aprilia style. A bike designed on the basis of Aprilia’s racing know-how, which has come from its 250 world championship victories to date. The technology and skill behind all of Aprilia bikes, refined mechanics and a top class engine and chassis, will ensure the success of the SL 750 Shiver.

From everyday use to a trip along mountain passes or a blast on a track day, the Aprilia SL 750 Shiver is completely at home in any situation, with guaranteed riding pleasure at all times.

Light, agile and powerful, it has a new generation engine and the most advanced technical features in its class. The brand new 90° V-Twin, produced entirely in-house by Aprilia, is extremely compact. And in the Aprilia SL 750 Shiver, Ride by Wire technology becomes part of the standard equipment of a bike in this class for the first time in the history of motorcycling. Above all, thanks to the advanced electronic engine management system, it can deliver power comparable to four cylinder engines, but with a much more useable torque spread at low revs for a much more satisfying ride. True to the Aprilia tradition, the innovative mixed trellis/cast aluminium chassis, with side mounted shock absorber, simply has no rivals in its class, making the bike extremely compact and agile. Weighing in at only 189 kg it is perfect for all types of rider.

The main characteristics of the Aprilia 750 Shiver are:

90° V-Twin engine with four valve cylinder head, double overhead camshaft and liquid cooling
Ride by Wire technology for electronic control of the throttle bodies
Electronic fuel injection with latest generation injectors
Modular trellis/cast aluminium frame for high torsional rigidity
Reinforced aluminium swingarm and lateral shock absorber
43 mm upside down forks equipped with radial caliper racing brakes
189 kg dry weight

Available in black and silver only, the Shiver costs £5,869 on the road, complete with 24 months warranty and 12 months roadside assistance.
