Aprilia Shiver 900 2017

As we all know, there's life in the old dog yet not all two-cylinder engines in the Aprilia range have fallen victim to the Euro4 standard, the mid-range lives on - and how! The Shiver 900 not only has more torque thanks to increased displacement, but also an excellently tuned ride-by-wire system. Added to this are further electronic features such as three mappings as well as adjustable and disengageable traction control and ABS. The timeless look hardly changes, but a colour TFT display is now used for the most modern demands.

After just a few kilometres on the R, you feel as if you've been allowed to spend a day in a tailor-made suit tailored with a lot of experience and tradition. You behave more cultivated than usual, a little more mature, a little more polite, definitely proud.

optimal ABS, ASC and ESA

hard, pleasant sound.
