aprilia shiver 750

[Paul_E_D]

The only thing I can't get past is the name. GIVES ME THE SHIVERS... Reminds me of Owen Meany.

Is it auto transmission?

[DucDave]

...as in,"A Prayer For...?"

No, its not Autotransmission!

[Paul_E_D]

Yes, of course. Remember he always said that and spoke in all caps.

btw, there are some hysterical threads on that list. Could be topped only by the gixxer board. The one about buffeting was funny. The shiver joke possibilities are endless...

[OreoGaborio]

Paul, the Mana 850 is the one that doesn't have a clutch. From what I hear it's a nice little rig... Very smooth auto transmission with a nicely done "sport mode" that changes it to manual shift.

but it's actually down on power compared to the Shiver.

Here's an extensive write-up by a guy on apriliaforums.
Ridden: Mana 850 midnight blue - ApriliaForum sponsored by AF1 Racing, inc.

For those that are curious about it, I just read that it is scheduled for Q3/Q4 or late 2008 in the USA as a 2009 model

I think the blue Tuono is still up at seacoast. thats the one to get!
or maybe the rsvr, or even the new monster? ARGGGG! , too many bikes too little money
Yes ask for Jim/Pat but I think Jesse is still recuperating from his knee and isn't back yet.. I could be wrong

He is back a few hours a day...at least he was earlier this week. Here's to a full and speedy recovery Charles...

...and if my wife, to whom I am Man God, would allow a 3rd bike, I would definately have a Monster...

just got back from seacoast... Patricia was very nice as was charles. Both treated me very well and my goodness, that shiver was sick. i sat on the hypermotard too, seemed like itd be alot of fun. didnt have my gear or anything so im going back there later next week for a little test ride. more to come....

[R1]

be prepared to spend all your money! they are good over there. i cant figure out how i walk in to pick something up, and leave with either more stuff than i planed on or order more stuff than i need.

Yeah, the 2nd gen Tuono is definitely a bit of an ugly duckling.

But the 1st gen? Ohhhh mamma!

All kidding aside we need to swap bikes on a ride sometime, i want to ride the ape!

[TheIglu]

I hear someone is selling a Hypermotard real cheap at the track.....

I've ridden it, it's pretty fun. Motor just pulls and pulls and pulls.

Want an experience? Get off his bike and onto mine. WHOLE different ballgame!

[OreoGaborio]

Denno, any time, bro

Clayton, you wouldn't believe how much those tires sucked that were on it when you rode it... that rear was about as square as a car tire making it require a ton of countersteer to stay leaned over... I finally put the Pirelli's that I got from SaxymanI put on there & they absolutely TRANSFORMED the bike. Now she carves like a friggin chainsaw through butter! Just gotta get her in PK's hands to do some clicker magic & maybe use up that fork rebuild that I won at the drunkathon last year.
