Aprilia Shiver 750 / annual gathering of nortons

(1/3) > >>

Steveski:
Two subjects here....
been looking to buy a new bike over past year & while I was seriously considering the v7, my research led me to the Aprilia Shiver & I found a new 2013 model at Motorcycle Mall up in Belleville NJ for $6999 in black which I bought over the phone after checking the Shiver out at Eurosports in Coopersburg, PA who could not match the price. It came down to the Aprilia or the V7 .... I was really thinking the Shiver would be too tall... But it wasn't ... I could touch both feet comfortably & sit on the bike without holding onto the bars.... 95 hp, 3 maps, great brakes, v twin, Italian, 2 yr warranty.... Oh yeah
Thanks for anyone who replied to my posts while I was researching the V7... I really love look of the bike but I could not pass up the 750 Aprilia...
Like the Guzzi,s, not many Aprilias out there.. So I will keep my eye out for you all & wave when I see you.
Anyone within 100 miles of washingtons crossing, pa might want to check out this... The  annual "Gathering of Nortons".... Went a few years ago.... Great time had & some very cool vintage bikes... Not just nortons either...

Congratulations on the new bike. The Shiver can be a lot of fun! So, how many carbon fiber body pieces have you been checking out for your Shiver?

Vasco DG:
Biggest downside to the Shiver is its crap, bargain basement, suspension.

Sort that and they are more fun than a wetsuit full of custard and an angry anteater.

Cool, glad you found something. Sounds like a great bike.
