Not an Sx... The Sx has dirtbike style bars - crossbar across the top... and hand guards.

And it looks like this emblem:

I wanted naked because I liked the look, but found out pretty quick that it was too top heavy for me. I have weak girlie arms though, so that probably made a difference. :shrug:

Plus I had financed it so I was nervous about crashing. And I bought it on a whim. I will never do either again.

So maybe I'm the wrong person to be talking about the bike itself. :lol:

But, they all look the same, the only difference is the letters after the 12.

I really want to figure it out though. It's not an s, they stopped making them long before they went to the black engines and forks. It's not an ss, the frame pucks and swingarm are different. It also has different frame geometry.

So, what's left? :lol

Both the Shiver and Dorsoduro 750 look like fun middleweights, if Aprilia floats your boat.

There are regular S's with black engines and forks.

OSP and Tmall, I am almost certain that it is a Scg model. From what I remember the seat got really deep and you had it sit down "in" it versus "on" it. Exactly like the Scg picture OSP posted. Thats why I had such a problem fitting in the seat. No other pictures of that specific bike.



Not a big fan of the Dorsoduro/hypermotard look. The Shiver is nice though. Never seen one in person though.
