Sorry, I've defected but ...

I will remain on the forum because this is the best one I've found so far.

I've sold my 2005 FZ6 and purchased 2008 Aprilia Shiver. Aprilia is sooo smooth in comparison to FZ6 and rides sooo well

I still have black and blue T-shirts that I wear

No need to apologise, the Shiver has one monster of a motor. They're so under-rated here. Good work.

If you run out of mods to do (there's prob not a lot you need to on them), then this should provide you some inspiration!

Glad you'll stick around...but....

I hope you have better luck than two of my friends here. They have been stranded, broken down, and had their rides in the shop for what seems one week out of every four. I sincerely hope that yours doesn't have any of the problems their bikes did.

They are very comfortable in ergos and have a decent amount of power but I still thought the FZ6 was better at acceleration than the drive-by-wire Shiver. That electronic throttle takes some getting used to.

Ride safe!!

I know someone who bought a new shiver , was always in the shop from day one. Hope that does not happen to you/

I've driven my buddy's a few times. Smooth as silk. The one time he had his girlfriend on the bike and we swapped bikes. He said "Take care of her." To which I replied "Sure, and I'll look after your girlfriend too." :BLAA:

Enjoy the new bike, I hope you get as much if not more enjoyment as you did from the FZ :thumbup:

I rode on last summer and enjoyed it. I like the mid-range punch vs. the fizz. Sharp looking bike too.

I think the Shiver and Dorsoduro are both beautiful bikes. Sort of the essence of a motorcycle and nothing more. It's amazing how the Italian companies can make a basic frame\wheels\motor look so nice.

On the other hand, reliability is no where close to the FZ6 from what I have read. Best of luck.
