Anyone have any experience with the shiver?  My brother is looking at one, it is a 2008 with 1 Km, and they are asking 8400 the regular MSRP is 9997.  The specs put it engine wise on par with the monster 1100 but some of the bits and pieces aren't as good.  It is a significant upgrade over the 696 again from the engine stand point.  If you have taken one for a ride let me know what you think.

Cheers drink

Test rode one about a month ago, and the fuelling were not up to ducati 696 standard, otherwise a great M/C waytogo

Nice bike overall but I found it very tall even compared to an S2R1K.

test rode recently. Was very comfortable and handled well. Not as snappy as even lower cc monsters, though. Here's a used one for $5900 in texas...
