Positioned in Aprilia's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Aprilia Shiver 750 utilizes a 749.9 cc (45.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through 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 measures 189 kg (417 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 HP/kg (1.99 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.
