Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a torquey, characterful V-twin without the intimidation of a full literbike.
PurposeA naked streetfighter built for spirited backroad rides, twisty commutes, and weekend cornering fun rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider FitThe 810mm seat height and moderate 218kg wet weight make it manageable for most riders, though shorter riders may need to tiptoe at a stop.
CharacterThe V-twin engine delivers a punchy, characterful pull with strong midrange torque and an engaging exhaust note, favoring feel over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking long-haul touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any serious off-road capability.

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 2022 Aprilia Shiver 900, 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.
