AUTO MODIFIED 2011

A adventitious affair a brace years afterwards the aboriginal appointment reveals the accessory babe dresses sexier now, has slimmed down some and is added fun than you initially gave her acclaim for. And you’re beholden she’s accustomed you accession chance.

That’s the ambience in which I’ve put the Aprilia Shiver 750.

When aboriginal I rode the SL750 two years ago I admired it enough, I guess. I couldn’t abjure the Shiver’s affable accession ergos or its arrangement of technology, like three-mode rider-selectable engine mapping and throttle-by-wire. Yet, about applied the Shiver was, it artlessly didn’t about-face me on.

Though the latest SL750 hasn’t accustomed across-the-board changes from the 2008/09 versions, the few changes it has are abundantly a aftereffect of Shiver chump input, according to Aprilia.

A narrower saddle, a new flyscreen, lower handlebars and rear-set bottom controls are meant to admit a sportier activity bike, while beachcomber anchor rotors, a narrower (5.5” vs. 6.0”) rear caster and adapted ammunition mapping annular out the abstruse upgrades.

I’d like to acquaint you the adjustments to the ergos serve as a all-inclusive advance from what the aboriginal abundance of the Shiver offered, but the accuracy is I didn’t acquisition the old ambit a botheration and so can’t say definitively the changes are of huge benefit.

What is a nice accession is the new color-matched flyscreen.

Though it doesn’t blanket the accession in a cushion of still air, it about helps abate some windblast compared to the old bike. In fairness, the absolutely naked Shiver of yore (okay, just one archetypal year ago) did at atomic a appropriate job of deflecting wind via the headlight’s shape.

Maybe I artlessly didn’t absorb abundant time with Shiver 1.0, but afterwards I pulled my aboriginal wheelie on the ’11 archetypal I had to admiration what I absent the aboriginal time. How could I overlook such a fun, grunty, barbaric 750cc V-Twin?
