The Aprilia SL 750 Shiver, launched in 2007, marked a significant departure for the Italian manufacturer, introducing a naked sportbike that focused on accessible performance and handling rather than outright power. The Shiver's innovative 90° V-twin engine, with its unique "ride-by-wire" throttle system, offered a smooth and responsive power delivery, making it both enjoyable for everyday riding and capable on twisty roads. This engine, displacing 749.9cc, produced a respectable 95 horsepower and 62 lb-ft of torque, making the Shiver a fun and engaging ride for both experienced riders and those looking for a step up from smaller motorcycles. The Shiver's lightweight chassis, featuring a steel trellis frame and a single-sided swingarm, complemented the engine's character, offering agile handling and a sharp, responsive feel. The bike's minimalist styling, with its exposed trellis frame and sharp lines, contributed to its sporty and aggressive appeal. The Shiver's success can be attributed to its combination of accessibility and performance. It was a bike that was comfortable for commuting, fun for spirited riding, and approachable for new sportbike riders. The innovative "ride-by-wire" system allowed for two distinct throttle response maps – "Sport" and "Touring" – providing a customisable experience for different riding styles. This, combined with features like a responsive suspension, comfortable rider ergonomics, and a versatile engine character, made the Shiver a popular choice for a wide range of riders. The 2008 model year, while retaining the core features of the original Shiver, saw subtle improvements in suspension tuning and a revised exhaust system, further enhancing the bike's all-round performance and appeal. The Aprilia SL 750 Shiver, with its unique combination of sporty design, accessible performance, and user-friendly features, made a significant mark on the naked sportbike market and solidified Aprilia's reputation for producing innovative and well-rounded motorcycles.
