2018 Aprilia Shiver 900 and Dorsoduro 900 Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 11. 2017
- It’s rare that a manufacturer debuts two new models at the same time unless there are multiple trims such as the Aprilia RSV4 RR and Factory versions. When MO found out we would be riding both Aprilia’s new Dorsoduro and its Shiver 900, I was actually looking forward to the novel opportunity. It would be interesting to see how different the motorcycles would feel while sharing many of the same components, most notably, the same 896cc 90-degree V-Twin engine.

Finally an honest reviewer on motorcycles. Please let this dude do more bike reviews.
A.E.T. You got a point there. I can't stand these huge motorcycle channels that just do track day comparisons of 5 motorcycles at a time but obviously cannot hide their biased like for one particular bike in the group, even though we all know damn well they were paid off by the manufacturer to talk up the overpriced piece of shit they are comparing.. Alongside the 4 other bikes.. *gasps for air* I mean CLEARLY the $9k Suzuki, $7k Kawasaki, $7k Honda, an $10k Yamaha all are great mid weight naked bikes, but DO TELL how Ducati is superior in every fucking way giving zero explanation why knowing just right before the cameras start rolling you struggle to get comfortable on the bikes while dealing with the multiple $100 bills Ducati shoved up your ass.. Yeah, I prefer this guy.
Finally, a reviewer who comments about lights! This is so critical to know for those who commute by bike.
yeah thats a good detail
You're quoting rear wheel dyno figures and the factory hp figures. Factories almost always quote engine Dyno numbers, not wheel dyno numbers. That is enough to account for the HP discrepancies.
The fact that they don't know that makes me question their credibility.
I can't trust anything from this guy / this channel. They miss a lot of obvious things and forget about stuff that the average internet rider with just a year of experience knows.. And all these people in the comments are praising the guy just because he has some negativity in his review (which I don't mind), but come on he's literally closing his eyes to a ton of factual stuff he should know about. And no mention of the 750 version either, which has the same hp numbers but slightly less torque.. I've been on the Shiver and I am 6ft3 (190cm), and I had no issues with hitting my feet anywhere, and the Dorso should be even better due to its higher seat height. I just don't trust this guy, simple as that.
This is how a review should be! No bs and talk about things that matter to a rider - way to go!!!
I'm still waiting for Husky to release a new Nuda 900.
I've being waiting my whole life for this
Well I love my 2018 Dorso 900. It's a great bike. I use it daily to comment and get around, occasionally for a hoon on the weekend.
Man, the Italians have good taste! All they're bikes have such a beautiful design compared to the Japanese...
João Coelho They also make very unreliable bikes..but I’m sure you’re going to disagree with me.
Looks exactly like my old 2013 Ducati Hypermotard 796. And that was an awesome machine.
So, is the 90-something power claim at the flywheel or the rear tire. If you're comparing power at the rear tire to a flywheel power rating, of course the power will be down due to parasitic driveline loss.
Typically 10-15hp.. & he missed on telling us if the weight was as claimed too
That unicorn like position lamp on the Dorso
I just got new shiver, and its GREAT!!
Aprilia: The Alfa Romeo of motorcycles
That is a sadly apt analogy.
I've owned several Apes now and there are so many things to love, yet so many things that drive you nuts. They are unquestionably Italian.
You mean Aprilia is also horribly unreliable?
@Szlejer: You mean you have no idea what you are talking about?
Yeah, I have no idea about the Alfa which came with a cracked dashboard from the factory, random plastic parts falling off in the passenger compartment, oil pump dead in less than 2k miles so it had to be towed back to the dealer...
Unfortunately, Aprilia never had Alfa Romeo's designers who created masterpieces like the 8C or 33 Stradale or Giulia TZ, but it enjoys a better reputation for reliability. This comparison seems more apt for MV.
Claiming the power was down? Pretty sure all dynos measured wheel horsepower and not crank hp that companies measure off of. Be clear with how you review this. Made it sound really negative
I was thinking the same. ~10hp drivetrain loss seems about right.
But he did also say they seemed underpowered conpared to the competition.
You never know where the factory measured the hp from but motorcycle.com tests all the bikes the same way. They are just comparing it to other bikes they have tested.
Factorys always measure crank hp on engine dynos. Goes the same with cars. Probably comparing ot to the ducati hylermotard that has bit over 100hp id guess
cityandcovers The dynos just read different. Every manufacturer would have to use the same machine. For manufacturer claims to be accurate. It's well known manufactures fudge numbers up and down too.
For what it's worth it doesn't sound low to me. 100hp per liter is good on a street bike.
Yeah power seems a bit low tbh. 82 horsepower? My 17 year old 600cc gets 75 on the wheel.
Great review !! 👍
Are the new 900s only coming in this weird colorway?
starter button for ride modes goes back at least as far as early rsv4 bikes. nothing odd.
strange, these are not new bikes but reiterations, I expected aprilia to have iron out minor issues like foot room and headlights
Love my dorsoduro 750, I'm sad that it's only a 10whp bump going to 900 I expected at least 90+whp.
Unless they upped the head ports & valves.. an engine's not going to breath much differently.. especially if they don't re-cam them.. so big valves & ports.. 92 x 67.4 vs 92 x 54.6.. long stroke for more torque & would explain reports of the 900 being a little harsher & buzzier feeling.. shame the weight wasn't 10kg lighter & they should've used the fuel tanks setup from the 750 Mana that would be brilliant.. especially with the higher seat a 20ltr tank would easily achieved
i enjoy a lot of videos that you all put out. But using non committal words like "kinda" I cant listen very long, is it or isnt it?
The DD is a supermoto!
good reviewer!
Why are they so damn heavy though? The HP over Shiver 750 gets cancelled out by such a heavy weight...
499lbs for this bike is pretty heavy. Most bikes in this category are about 430-450lbs.
It's a big disappointment when any manufacturer comes out with a 2018 model of a bike like this with crappy incandescent indicator bulbs and incandescent headlight bulbs. No reason not to go with LED indicators and LED headlights in any 2018 model motorcycle.
Your absolutely right. Harley Davidson does the same thing and those motorcycles can cost 30 thousand plus
Aprilia be like: ”If I may be so grossly incandescent”
I think they should have put the old Tuono V-Twin engine in the Dorsoduro.
Dosadoro is besutiful. Hopefully a more reliable hypermotsrd
Small rider/low seat height bikes please.
💙🏴🏴💙🏴💙👍🏻 love the vids.
Why would anyone buy an Aprilia if it's not a V4?
Szlejer V2s are fun
Better late than never. What took you so long for this review?
What a let down as a owner of a 2008 shiver i have no reason to upgrade
r
I initially thought the same but that "power loss" is all because of new emissions regulations so maybe these might actually have more power hidden away to be unlocked with mods and tuning.
God knows the old ones didn't
Shiver: stupid name, great bike
Shiver at the price lol
Do they have different forks?
Jez yes, both models have different forks.
Horrible review. Fucks up the hp numbers for crank vs wheel, doesn't mention the 750 version with same hp output - and even says the Dorso is meant to ride more like a supermoto which is an obvious lie. It's nothing like a supermoto, and it doesn't try to be one. It's merely the looks and seating position, everything else is worlds away from supermoto so don't make that comparison, especially with the engine and drivetrain setup. Can't trust anything in this review.
Shiver and Dorsoduro; don't like the names. I would just tell people I had an Aprilia 900! With that out of the way, not too impressed with either model, but that could change if I had the chance to ride them during the day when I could see the road...Think I'll keep my Yamaha Super Tenere for now. Nice review.
Can i comment *first* ?
Shiver
Not a wheelie in sight, what a waste of 2 great bikes.
Good review, but I hate this guy's 'upseak' - drives me crazy, but not in a good way.
Please, please please... stop finishing sentences on a higher note. It's a nasty, nasty habit. If I ignore that.. you're not a bad reviewer at all. 😁 🏍
supermoto will die, cause no one made it usable, even honda. no one really need harshly engine on street tyre.
Nice review. Sounds like both bikes are really bad. Too bad.
Why do Americans always talk about specifications in the future tense. Lots of “that’s gonna be...” and “it’s gonna be..”.
The Dorso does.

As an American, that’s gonna be hard to explain. (Rimshot)
Tip your waitresses, I’m gonna be here all week. (Rimshot)
Well yes i can😂
You've Won!!!! A date with Harvey Winefinklestein... You might wanna buy a dress with a Fern on it, he likes those ...
Why does the dorsoduro look the same as it did 7 yrs ago, style change would be nice
Compre una aprilia shiver 900 en argentina y fallo ni bien la retire de la agencia.luego de hacer 75 km hasta mi casa llegue casi sin agua, el nivel de aceite bajo y luego de un mes en la agencia aún no tengo respuestas de nadie. La marca no tiene respaldo en mi país no volveré a comprar una Aprilia jamas! son importadas en Argentina por el grupo Simpa. Mi nombre es Manuel Bordone dni 24740390.
Lackluster review
This millennial dude is whingeing like it is going out of fashion... Probably spilt his kale coffee too...
If the 900 is anything like the 750 shiver I wouldn't touch one ever again in my life, build quality is very good and easily lasts through British winters and rain, but design wise they are utterly terrible, it's just took me 3 hours to change a headlight bulb, it's easier to remove the handlebars to have enough space to get your hands in plus for this reason my local repair garage won't touch these for any amount of money , Mt 09 for me next
Looks like a couple of real turds. 499# for the Shiter 900, who do they think they are Harley?
Great poser bikes
Darrell thanks
