Reliable sources are predicting a Shiver 1200 later this year...Originally Posted by James Deuce

The sources say anything about what engine that might be?

They're strangely silent on that. One suspects it will be another all-Aprilia offering. It would be way cool if it was a V-4...

Hmmm.
1200cc and Shiver are concepts I like, the word Rotax would make the picture very attractive.

Aprilia and Rotax no longer talk to each other. The Shiver/Dorsoduro 750 is designed and produced by Piaggio's engine shop, as will the 1200cc V-Twin going in the 1200 Shiver. The 1200 is going to use exactly the same chassis with uprated suspension.

I have some silver Givi V35 hard panniers for sale if ya interested.

I may be, if Givi made mounting hardware for a Shiver. I have a V35 topbox.

OK. I've heard good things about Piaggio's donks, just never ridden one let alone owned one.
The Shiver looks too small, but H is a reasonably large chap and the Buell's even smaller and works.
Not ready to change yet, the toy budget is somewhat depleted so I'm staying well away from showrooms for now. Next summer p'raps...

Meanie has kindly listed them on TM for me but if you get keen let me know, absolutely as new condition.

Aprilia did indeed terminate the contract and are developing all of their engines in-house from now on (hopefully with better results than the SXV)... Buell are now running the Rotax (wondering if i can fit one in the RSV chassis) along with the Can-Am thingy...
Apparantly 2009 will be the last time a Rotax will grace an Aprilia frame... with the RSVR and Tuono being terminated during 2009... the new RSV4 and proposed/supposed V4Tuono will take over the sports mantle for Aprilia and as James says above, the twins will carry on in the Shiver and Dorsoduro...
Might get some decent deals in 2010 on RSVR's and Tuono's... mmmm, bike 2 maybe!!!
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

The Buell 1125R isn't related to the RSV engine at all. It's all new, and a completely different V angle at 72 degrees vs 60 for the RSV.
The Spyder uses a re-tuned version of the RSV's 60 degree V-Twin.

The Shiver has the best riding position I've ever tried on a bike, bar none. But that probably says more how the ergos suited my somatype than anything.
I like small engines. 750cc is my upper maximum for a bike I'd buy and own. I am thinking very hard about a "certain" 950 at the moment having said that though.
