Have you ever found yourself not as impressed by someone who, after a brief introduction? Like, for example, the proverbial mouse friend, a little overweight than a bunch of hot girls keep around as accomplices.
A chance meeting a few years after the first encounter reveals the companion girl dresses sexier now, has lost something and is more fun than I initially gave it credit for. And she is grateful that he has a chance.
That is the context in which I Shiver 750 Aprilia.
The first time I drove the SL750 two years ago I really liked, I think. I could not deny the Shiver is simple ErgoS rider or technology as a whole, as well as three pilot selectable modes of engine mapping and throttle cable. However, it was just not practical Shiver Turn me on.
I recently updated some time in 2011 SHIVER (such as the European model of Physicians 2010 ABS) and left the experience with sincere admiration for the bike to date.
Go to the hair and makeup, please!

Despite the recent SL750 is no big changes since the 2008/09 versions, the few changes that are largely the result of customer input SHIVER, according to Aprilia.
A narrow saddle, a mosquito net new, lower rear wheel and foot controls are designed to give a sportier feeling bike, while the wave discs, a smaller (5.5 "to 6.0") rear back and update of the fuel technology improvements.
I would say that the changes to the ErgoS serve as a great improvement over what the first iteration of the Shiver offered, but the truth is that I am not the dimensions of a problem of age to find and can not be said of rounding the changes are of great benefit.

What is an interesting addition is the new color matching hor.
Although the pilot does not fit in a bubble of still air, but help to reduce a number of wind blast over the old bike. To be honest, completely naked Shiver of old (well, only one model year ago) made at least a good job of deflecting the wind over the shape of the headlights.
Maybe they just do not spend enough time with SHIVER 1.0, but then I got my wheels for the first time in the '11 model I had to wonder what I missed the first time. How could I forget that pleasure, Grunty, fierce 750cc V-Twin?

No changes were recorded for liquid cooling, four valves per cylinder, DOHC, 749cc, 90 degree Twin, however, gave a different impression of me this time.
And by different I mean it's a barrel of monkeys "to open the throttle, the fan clutch hit and try to contain the front end. Also unchanged is the exhaust subcaudal funky, but in this case I thought I should have remembered a big buzz and rattle a clean pop, guaranteed to improve after the conclusion of the closed throttle high rpm.

Despite my bad memory, I remembered the Shiver comes with maps of three modes, and while the Sport mode gives the rider full swing, it is also rather abruptly to a new application of the accelerator. Interestingly, this statement is very low in view of the map updates otherwise smooth throttle response and fuel over the previous model.
The irregular solution to a little fuel in the sport is to change the mode of traveling, but offers maximum power, but is divided into lots smoother. And the way the rain is still there, of course, the power of silence strong as ever.

The only thing I would like to see out of style switching process is the need for a throttle fully closed for the fashion changes.
While bombing the highway (or anywhere, really) I do not mind slowing down to change the mode to wait, and then that the accelerator to catch up, where once was. After all, not a huge gap of power between the different modes that rapidly increase Shiver, whinny, and dump his rider unaware. This is not a deal breaker by any means, just saying ...

At the time of the test beat Shiver 2011 to 73 hp at 8,800 rpm to the territory of the Ducatilatest air-cooled two-valve 76 hp monster which reached 796 to 8400 rpm, when we recently tested. However, the production of Shiver has a maximum torque of 44.3 Nm at 7,600 rpm is exceeded by the 796 gruntier of 53 ft-lbs at 6400 rpm.New wave style rotors lead to a more contemporary, if not see Shiver mode but can be slightly improved braking performance. I remember the old Aprilia brand radial-mount calipers and braided stainless steel lines left the bike with violence, including a first bite also, as Kevin noted in the evaluation SHIVER 2008. But I also remember the feeling brakes, and it lacked a certain sense.
According to Aprilia, brake pad material remains the same, so maybe it's just my imagination, but I seem to have improved.

Multiple adjustment points for the brake and clutch pedals to reach fun, but getting one of the levers is a kind of time, even when set to the position of offering the shorter range. The default position requires a little glove big enough to seize all the way there to stretch, so it's a safe assumption that cyclists Shiver lady who likes to look at the aftermarket levers with more range or another range of adjustment.
The steel tube frame grid panels bolted to the aluminum side remains the same as before, because the holder adjustable 43 mm upside-link and less preload to offer downloads with rebound adjustment.

Around these parts tend to be more linear and progressive action through the use of shock coupling preference. But at least have access to an online download of the Shiver is very simple compared to most bikes. And we think that the bid of at least preload on the front seems fine for a sport bike like the Shiver.
According to Josh Kane, Manager of Technical Services in the U.S. Piaggio Costa Mesa, Calif., training and technical assistance, a few simple adjustments to the suspension of the Shiver Shiver further improve handling and admirable.

The increase in the piping from the Shiver fork with two lines above the stem (stock shows no lines), and adjusting the preload to the impact 27.5 mm flow displayed (values of 9.7), followed by eight positions rebound (fully closed) instead of the white balance of 11 is the ticket for the steering response and better and better overall handling.
Rear tires 180/55-17 Shiver remains of the first generation, but the 0.5-inch rear wheel closer to the new Shiver triangulation creates a better bond profile, better correlation with the profile of the band and is the most important factor in improving the new SHIVER address handling qualities.

The chassis has an excellent job of creating a simple operation, linear, keeping this Italian machine was predictable cornering. Grab a set of Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires keep everything asphalt.
Although not a complete makeover, the Shiver received a number of useful treatments for 2010/11. But what stayed the same between the first and the Shiver shiver latest and greatest is the suggested retail price of $ 8999.

The Shiver is not the weapon of the sample 796 in a battle of engine performance, but the duke extra 10 pounds-feet will need another $ 600 in price from the Shiver to spend to get the basic model sample.
In assessing the Shiver switchable mapping function offers more upright, living every day ErgoS and overall performance that rivals the 796, it may be that the relatively small difference in price more attractive than it first seemed.
My recent re-date knowledge of the Shiver reminds me that I had to look twice at the Shiver and I were in your shoes.
