Built around Aprilia's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 GT ABS features a 749.9 cc (45.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 126.7 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Shiver 750 GT ABS measures 193 kg (425 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
