Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a torquey V-twin with a playful, slightly aggressive character.
PurposeA naked streetfighter built for spirited backroad carving and urban riding rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider FitA moderate 189 kg weight and 810 mm seat height make it manageable for average and taller riders, though shorter riders may need to adjust to the reach.
CharacterDelivers a punchy, characterful V-twin exhaust note and torque-rich midrange that rewards throttle confidence over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures, pillion-heavy touring, or riders seeking plush long-haul comfort.

2011 Aprilia Shiver 750 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Aprilia Shiver 750, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
