The Shiver
 

.......

I do hope Suzuki have taken note..........

I do like it, and I'm very tempted! I'll wait to see what varients come out, or if Suzuki offer something up.

750cc 90 deg V twin, nice useable power with good suspension - it could be a winner.

Any other thoughts out there?

Re: The Shiver
 

I do like it, the build quailty looks alot better than the SV (not hard to beat mind) and all the reviews have been good so far. If they are bringing out a faired version then perhaps i could be tempted even more, not that i don't like the looks of the naked but for doing some distance riding i'd like a faired version please!! I know im a wimp :rolleyes:!!!!

Re: The Shiver
 

I want a version with clip ons and a sporty riding position, seen no plans as yet for such a variation.

Re: The Shiver
 

It does look a bit Er-6n with that shock however its something which I would consider if they look to add some wind protection to. I wouldnt mind the flat bars, just dont want to be buffeted about all the time.

Re: The Shiver
 

The write up in TWO points out that the frame is of modular construction so that they can and will bring out different variations around that engine.

On a personal level I'd want clip ons and (part) fairing.


I'm very taken by the concept......

Re: The Shiver
 

If it had existed back when I started building up my SV, I'd have got one- it's very close to the bike I'd build myself, even if it is butt ugly. Everything I dislike about it I could replace though. I think stylistically it's a complete mess, more like a collage than a bike, but the spec's excellent, and I really want to see what they do with it next.

Re: The Shiver
 

I like it, but wouldn't say no to a flat barred version with half fairing. Clip ons are not for me as I head for middle age :(

Re: The Shiver
 

like what?

Re: The Shiver
 

Nope. Looks too much like a Trailie.
The Triumph Street Triple is much better looking, and actually cheaper. :smt045

Re: The Shiver
 

The Street has the same sliding callipers we'd all like to change about the SV.
