Aprilia Shiver 900
The Aprilia Shiver 900 has a top speed of 215 km/h (estimated; manufacturer does not officially publish), produces 95 hp and weighs 214 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
L'Aprilia Shiver a été présentée pour la première fois en 2007 en tant que roadster nu propulsé par le moteur bicylindre en V de 750 cm3 à 90 degrés d'Aprilia, se positionnant ainsi comme un poids moyen élégant et polyvalent. En 2017, le Shiver a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à niveau avec un moteur plus gros de 900 cm3 (dérivé du Dorsoduro 900), une électronique améliorée, notamment le contrôle de traction et le système Ride-by-Wire, et un style actualisé. Il se distingue comme l'un des rares véhicules de sa catégorie à être doté d'un bicylindre en V plein de caractère produisant un couple puissant à bas et à moyen régime, combiné à une touche italienne et à des composants haut de gamme.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Unique 90° V-Twin
The Shiver 900 uses a distinctive 90-degree V-twin engine shared with the Dorsoduro, delivering strong mid-range torque and a characterful exhaust note uncommon in its class.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Used examples should be checked for throttle body synchronization issues, which can cause rough idling — a known quirk that's inexpensive to fix but commonly neglected by previous owners.
Steep Depreciation Curve
Aprilias depreciate faster than Japanese rivals, meaning buyers get a feature-rich, European-built naked bike at a significant discount compared to its original MSRP.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Brilliant bike, but buy with eyes wide open."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe Shiver 900 is one of those bikes that rewards patient buyers willing to do their homework. That 90-degree V-twin punches out genuine character — torquey from low down, genuinely exciting past 6,000rpm, and it sounds absolutely filthy through a decent exhaust. It's not the fastest naked in the segment but it's probably the most involving to ride, with that semi-active Sachs suspension on later models doing real work on imperfect roads. Here's the honest bit though: Aprilia's reliability reputation is earned, not assumed. Check the service history like your life depends on it — throttle bodies need regular syncing, and the electronics can throw phantom fault codes that'll cost you at a dealer. The steering lock issue on earlier examples was a known warranty job, so verify that's been addressed. Consumables like tyres and brake pads disappear quickly if the previous owner rode it properly. Buy one with full history, low miles, and ideally dealer-serviced. Get a pre-purchase inspection. Do all that and you've got one of the most characterful middleweights available for genuinely sensible used money.
