I heard Triumph is coming out with 800,1200cc adventure series bikes ~october or so to compete with the dorso/shiver/type bikes ... this is probably Aprilias answer.

Awesome! I hope it's true this time, I've been waiting for the 1200 for awhile.

Looks like it is true.

Crap, I just bought the 750 three weeks ago. I probably should have waited.

That was posted back in 2008, the 1200cc rumours have been around since the bikes first appeared. Would be great if they do arrive, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I doubt Aprilia are moving enough of the bikes to warrant much further investment in them.

My source of info is directly from the Aprilia factory, no idea when they will arrive.

The 2010 Shiver with new style fairings has that new starter switch and the black lower frames are on the Dorsod Factory.

Exciting news that there is a 1200 definatly coming.

[Bigralphie]

Wonder if aftermarket cans would swap over

Wonder if aftermarket cans would swap over

I hope so. You'd hope they haven't changed any of that between the 750 and 1200 to keep costs down.

[Cos_S]

I will be ecstatic if a) the tank for the 1200 is 15l and b) it can be fitted on the 750. Ecstatic i tell ya.

No mention of a Shiver?? ... getting a complex here, between the no-show of a Shiver Factory, and now no 1200.
