Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have progressed beyond a beginner bike and want a torquey V-twin that rewards confident throttle control.
PurposeBuilt as a versatile sport-touring naked/GT that handles commuting, weekend twisty roads, and moderate distance trips equally well.
Rider FitA moderate 810mm seat height and manageable 193kg dry weight make it accessible to riders of average height and fitness.
CharacterDelivers a characterful 90-degree V-twin growl with agile, upright handling that feels more engaging than a pure tourer.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking off-road capability, high-speed track performance, or long-haul touring comfort with a passenger.

2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 GT ABS 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 ABS, 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.
