    Aprilia Shiver Launch Website

    Here is Aprilia's website for the Shiver.

    SHIVER - APRILIA

    Possibly NSFW depending on how strict you want to be about it. The title is "Naked Passion" if that tells you anything.



    But Aprilia.... WHY, OH WHY must you continue putting the Liberace Gold on all of your bikes? It is SOOOOOO ugly. Your dealers hate it, the bikes are going back into the corner instead of out front where they used to be.

    Most Aprilias are ugly.

    Nice hardware with something to screw it up. And almost all of their models are covered with garish graphics. Gold, that shit lion, huge red-orange RSV logos, gaudy reds and oranges...

    This is not surprising. If they dropped the gold, they'd fuck it up with something else.

    NDDs Aprilia is one of the very few nice looking bikes/colors they made, and his is an unusual color combo...a bit too classy for those dudes it'd seem.

    I like it

    The orange and blue versions of it don't have the gold frame

    Looks aggressive. Aprilia's stying is hit and miss and you either love them or hate them... not a lot of in between.

    The ones that don't look very attractive in print start to grow on you, though, once you've seen them in person.

    The blue and orange ones are not that bad, considering they killed off the gold frame.

    But why didn't they have an all black, or all silver?

    That picture reminds me of this weekend in Vegas a few years back................
    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.

    Re: Aprilia Shiver Launch Website

    It just looks a bit overstyled, even if they lose the gold frame. I think MV hit it just right with the Brutale, but then again my opinion is somewhat biased.

    So, in other words, it is not popular?
