Positioned in Aprilia's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Aprilia SL 750 Shiver relies on a 749.9 cc (45.8 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 81 Nm (59.7 lb-ft) at 7,000 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 and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), 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 SL 750 Shiver 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 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 294 km (183 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 225 km/h (139 mph).
