not heard much about this bike personally but some says its not bad!

Stepdad knows someone selling a 2012 with 636! miles on the clock!

looking for £5200.

Anyone have any experience with this bike, worth it!?

me personally I wouldn't buy one,but upto you

id look at the Japanese equivelent

Decent enough, but that's it.

I know I am biased because I've bought the bigger one, but you can buy a new MT 07 for less than that.

I'd take the Shiver over the MT-07. Significantly more power and torque, better suspension and I prefer the styling as well.

I really like the riding position on these. They also sound real nice with the Akrapovic cans!

Also, just shy of 100hp from a 750cc V-Twin is pretty damn good. You could make that difference up fairly easily as well.

Would take one over the MT-07 in a heartbeat, no contest.

had a shiver, never had any issues with it, is really good fun, get great feedback from the road, and it will bite it you ride it like you stoll it.

My current bike is a '11 750 Shiver. Good fun, nice torque and nimble and light on the road with a really comfortable riding position. You might find the buffeting tiresome on a longer journey. No issues with mine in nearly 3 years of ownership.

Nothing terribly recent - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gregkingston/sets/72157627357010308/

Mind you, it looks the same today as it did when it arrived. I've only managed to get some 1,500 miles on it. It will be one of those bargain 'low mileage, barely used, one owner' bikes when it gets sold soon. I'm trying to move to either a Caponord or Multistrada at the moment, as I'm no longer riding at weekends and instead just going on two or three much longer trips a year. Belgium and Germany at the end of May

Yep - good (or rather, less than good) first hand experience.
