This bike is aparantly going to be avalible in 2008.

No clip-ons.

Our wee SV is still unique/crippling!

2008 1200shiver could get me into a sweat tho', 130bhp ,fair enough but 88ftlbs at 6500rpm? Gibber!

True the picture only showed the half faired with its prototype clay faring on, and did not appear to have clip ons. But IMO the Shiver looks awesome anyway, and the faring will make it more practical and comfortable at higher speeds.

Also for me it is a practical next bike, a smallish increase in CC, but get to keep the V-Twin engine! BHP increase to 99 at the crank estimated 88 at the rear wheel and top speed of 140-145ish so a safe increase in performance with out being un usable. This should keep the insurance lower than a SS600 as well!

And lets not forget the price the un faired is going for £5800 so I would expect the faired to go for about £6200 ish. For a Italian styled (and Aprillia are reliable now) V-twin 750, I for one am sold and will be getting a faired version when it is released. Well the winter of its release to get a better deal.

The parts used look a bit more quality than those of the SV as well; for starters the brakes are the same as the RSV!! And the suspension comes ready set up for spirited riding on bumpy twisty roads apparently, which lets face it is the majority of the roads we ride here in the UK.

I am taken by it and unless it has some serious reliability problems it will be my next bike!

I hope it's got that much punch when it arrives. I hate it when they up the specs and it ends up with a lot less when it arrives.
