It ain't easy breaking into the crowded midsize naked bike market, but Aprilia's new Shiver 750 is aimed squarely at potent offerings like the Ducati 696.
How does Aprilia's stylish streetfighter fare against the competition? On the positive side is a snarling, 95 horsepower V-twin with a trick ride-by-wire throttle, and on the negative is... well, you'll have to read my 2008 Aprilia Shiver 750 Review to find out this bike's Achilles' heel.

Hey Basem
I’m glad Aprilia is trying to establish their presence in this segment. I love streetfighters and the more the merrier!
It’s a shame that the gearbox is so disappointing. With all my years of riding, a sluggish gearbox is one thing that really annoys and is a deal breaker for a new bike. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully they fix this in the future
