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.

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
