NST COTY 2014 : Aprilia Shiver 750 CBU

Another naked bike that caught my eye was the Aprilia Shiver 750 CBU. Aprilia was famous for its over-engineered frame and this Siver 750 CBU looked the part. Steel-braided brake hoses, 3-programme selections (Rain, Touring, Sports), etc - this bike came with a host of extras and at a low asking price of circa RM41k - RM45k (again, depends on your negotiation skills at the dealers).

I rode astride the Shiver 750 CBU and I noted that it felt light, and low such that my feet could touched the ground easily. This could be a fairly good entry bike for a beginner whom was moving towards middleweight bikes.

And with news of Shiver 750 CKD bikes in the pipeline and probably around the region RM30k - RM35k (unverified), don't be surprised if you see more Aprilia Siver 750 bikes flooding the streets of Malaysia in the near future.
