Time for New Bike
 
Looking for a new bike again. I hate, hate, hate the V-Star.

Between the Yamaha FZ8, Aprilia Shiver and the Aprilia Dorsoduro. Anyone ridden one of these? I'm leaing toward the Shiver... It's a v-twin, it's Italian and it's nekid!! Give me a reason to buy something else.

Are you looking at the FZ8 faired or naked???

If your going with Ape, I'd go with this... vids not good until 1:50. :rockwoot:

They make a faired version of the FZ8 in the US? Not really interested in a faired bike.

No Tuono. I want a light bike. :skep:

Why no Hypermotard?

The specs I've seen have the Tuono V4 weighing in lighter than the Shiver.

What's wrong with air-cooled?

Get the 796 Duc and power-wise it's damn close, get the 1100 and it'll have much more power.

That could be an option.

I wouldn't get a hypermotard 800 or 1100 model as your only bike unless you plan to use it for short rides only.

Shiver would be a much more all around bike.
