2008 Aprilia reviews

I've had my Shiver for about a month now, and it's off the charts fun. I haven't found a corner that made me uncomfortable. I haven't wished for more power yet (and I've had bigger bikes). The shiver is smooth and powerful from idle to redline, the breaking is assured, almost, but not quite, abrupt. The ride by wire throttle actually adds something unquantifiable to the responsiveness of the bike. It sounds, looks, and feels like an Italian Motorcycle! Show less

I bought my scooter (first time 2 wheel rider) last August and loved riding it. I had problems getting it over 35 mph though. Come to find out, a recall was issued during the winter for just that situation. I have had it fixed and it was just returned to me yesterday. Am hoping that it is all repaired and ready to ride. I enjoyed every minute of my time on it last fall and would recommend this scooter to anyone who wants to try riding a two wheeler. It moves very well in traffic and the savings on gas is great. It feels great to have the wind in your face and simply enjoy what is around you as you travel these beautiful New England roads. Show less

This is my first bike, and I couldn't be happier! Using it as a daily commuter it such a great fit for this bike...starts every morning (@ 5:30 am!!), even at temps close-to/below zero! Once I setup the suspension the way I liked it the road bumps faded away. Tons of torque that passing in top gear seems almost too easy! The tri-mapping for the ECU is wicked for when you want to rip through the twisties, then cruise down the boulevard, and for those mornings with just a hint of ice (or slippery-wet roads)! I feel sorry for some people...sometimes they just turn their heads too fast to check out this bike that they hurt themselves!! If you decide to buy this bike, get used to this; 'Aprilia-what? Never heard of it, but that's an awesome looking bike!!''5' 1" Show less

This bike reminded me why a 750 is the ultimate size for a streetbike. Very comfortable, perfect seating position. Tons of torque, like nothing else I've tried. Enough power without being insane. Gobs of power for the highway, smooth and very predictable. Unreal handling around town, feels like a motard bike. Very well finished, awesome to look at. Turns a lot of heads and sounds awesome, even with the stock exhaust. I wouldn't change a thing. Show less
