I test rode one a while back (it was the same bike that Ride magazine had on test so it may well have been the same one MCN and Bike had?) It was nice to look at, plenty of gizmos and a decent (if not cutting edge) ride, but boy was it shoddily put together! To be fair I think the Shiver GT is the pick of the three 750 Aprilias for VFM and will do more things more of the time (but it still a bit tinny).

The factory version is fun, leave it on sport mode though. And agree about the build quality, bit like a French car really. Check out the husky nuda 900, now built by BMW and a total hoot to ride! Would have one if I had 9k spare...

I loved it. Best fun I'd had for ages.

I was disappointed with the one I rode my XT felt as if it had much more punch through the gears but not as much top end.
I have followed the DD750 & the DD1200 in great detail, they have had many recalls & faults with them the older ones where the worst. To mention a few. Coolant leaks Burn't starter motors Starter relays Cutting out stalling. A few map upgrades Coolant temp senders Radiator fans Throttle sensors Decompression tensioners Water pumps This is one of the best Aprilia forums I have found, http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/forum.php

Yup, i suspected the Italian electrics might not quite be spot on just yet. Might test ride a factory version, think I would kick myself If it went wrong though having had no problems with my XTX at all!

I had the Shiver and there were some issues the short time I had it. I drove around for half a year with no speedometer because the dealer had to wait for the part. In the end I got tired of all the issues and sold it. Fun to drive but no fun to own...

I was having a look at the Nuda today, they do look good in the flesh.
