Aprilia unveil '07 cast

Aprilia has revealed a whole range of new bikes at the Milan show today (Tuesday).

The new models include the Shiver 750, a naked sportsbike powered by a new 95bhp DOHC V-twin.

Designed to compete with bikes like Honda’s Hornet 600, the Shiver’s specs include radial Brembo brakes and an MV-style frame with a steel trellis front section and alloy swingarm pivot area.

The firm also unveiled the new Mana 850. A radical machine using another new engine – this time an SOHC, 850cc V-twin – the Mana’s USP is a unique automatic gearbox offering four different settings.

It can be used as a seven-speed manual, or as a full twist-and-go automatic with three settings; sport, touring or rain.
