Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey V-twin without the intimidation of a full liter-class bike.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile sport-touring middleweight that blends everyday usability with engaging back-road performance.
Rider FitA manageable 189 kg dry weight and 810 mm seat height make it accessible to riders of average height and moderate strength.
CharacterThe 90-degree V-twin delivers a characterful, torque-rich pull with distinct sport-touring manners rather than outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for off-road adventures or riders seeking hyper-sportbike top-end thrills.

2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 GT 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 2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 GT, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
