Regarding the handling of this bike - yes, she is feeling pretty heavy. But there is one thing you can do have it more nimble. Go for a model produced after 2012 or change the rear tire. The models before 2012 have 5,5" rear rim, after 2012 a 5" rim. This stretches a 180 tire to the effect, that the bike is loosing they ability to fall into corners. Get a 190/50 tire and it will be much more nimble again. Fun fact: the Shiver 900 got the 5,5" rim again.

if its 90degrees isnt it an l twin? also its stroke hp and wheel hp are more than 10hp difference. Dynos dont lie, its just that the channel chose to say the rear wheel hp, which is still a lot, considering its almost the same as the ktm adventure 950s hp at the wheel or other typical touring v/l twins at 1000cc back in 2000s.

I own one for years now and i am very happy with this bike. The bike is absolutely undervalued. Standard the bike has a soft front suspension and sometimes you have to work hard to get it around the corner. High speed cornering on bumpy roads feels a little bit unreliable, but after a while you get used to that. In sport-mode the bike is very nervous in low rpm (stuttering engine). Riding in Tour mode is much better and much comfortable. But speeding in Sport mode feels really exciting. It''s possible to change this by installing some kind of adjustable pot-meter which will change the air/fuel mixture. I agree...if like driving v-twins and you can find one...go for it!

The under seat exhaust or mainly the under seat cat is nice during cold weather as it keeps your bottom warm. What I've heard, getting a de-cat pipe cools the exhaust down a lot. Btw it has ~95hp so it's ok power for this bike. Would need more power on the high way tbh. Really nice bike to ride in towns and country roads! Engine seems quite reliable, electrics by Italians so expect some funky issues (starter motor for one).

A decat pipe definitely makes this bike more comfortable in warmer weather. I changed out the stock exhaust for a roadsitalia proj 6 exhaust which looks good on the bike and is a fair bit lighter. A lithium battery also shaved off a few kilos. Less than 1kg vs 4kg for the stock battery. The only dramas with a lithium battery is they need a little warmup in colder weather. The first time you go to start the bike on a cold morning you'll think the battery is flat. It usually takes a few goes before it will fire up. Each time the bike will turn over stronger as the battery warms up. The 95hp is plenty for the highway. I've taken it on some trips out to the country and it will sit on 160km/h - 100mp/h for hours with no complaints. Motor wise it's been very reliable and I've put on over 120k kms on mine since new. I have the 2012 model which has a slightly more aggressive riding position and passenger footpegs are mounted differently. The starter motor on mine did die after about 100K but luckily there was an aftermarket one available from an Italian site that arrived in less than a week. I can't complain about the bikes reliability.
