I picked up the Aprilia Shiver 750 on a snowy day in April, and I will shut her down the first time I get caught out by snow. [emoji13] Did Toronto to London, to Hamilton and back to Toronto on Friday—great day for it and had to run some work related errands. Happy to have good cold weather...

Avons are on, great so far. Hit a bunch of gravel track south of Forks. As a plus, they make a world of difference when the highways are shredded for repaving. A million times better than full street rubber in those cases. No real difference in noise or vibration. Sent from my BLA-L29 using...

Thanks man that's good to hear. I went back and forth a bit and then ordered the Avons. Arriving soon. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Little short bits in and around town... - Bayview from Moore to Gerrard - convair drive (south edge of Pearson airport - King Vaughn road, Hockley and Forks loop if you go northwest. Realistically... In the city, it's a city so what can you expect. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Hey gang, wondering who has feedback on different dual sport tires? Looking for something that's more road biased, with the Avon AV54 Trailrider as the front-runner. I'm going to be more of a 80/20 split primarily on road. Off-road would be mostly gravel roads/logging roads/well travelled trails...

Thanks for starting this thread! I'm on an Aprilia Shiver 750 that's due for tires soon, was even wondering about something simple like a tire swap... I assume it's fairly idiot proof—I plan on setting up at Moto Revere eventually , but definitely not for tires (just plain annoying and would...

Thanks man! Gotta spend more time on here and see who's riding when. Did L&L last night. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

lollll sorry man I wasn't getting notifications on here. Not my department but if it's a VS property expect change eventually! Sorry to say. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Looks like I wasn't getting any notifications from the forum, sorry!! I was looking at the MT07 as a comparison, but was sold on the shiver as soon as I sat down. Peg to seat clearance is a bit taller and fits me perfectly. Been a blast so far. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Female rider on a modded Ducati Monster northbound on Yonge today? From Eg up to Sheppard? Fun chase! Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Back riding last 2 years after a 14 year hiatus. Editor by trade, working for VerticalScope, so I've scribbled a thing or two on motorcycle.com. Current ride is a low-mile '08 Aprilia Shiver 750, that I've logged about 1500kms on since the pandemic has been underway. Minor mods (tail tidy...

To throw something different into the mix. Aprilia Shiver 750. I picked up an 08 this spring and absolutely love it. Good torque comfortable posture, easy to flick around, and fits taller riders. I'd ridden the MT07 before and personally I believe the Shiver is a better bike all around. Can be...
