We managed to entertain ourselves on our tour up the Alps by pulling little wheelies out of all those corners, but only by dumping the clutch to raise those lazy revs again. The higher up we went the more asthmatic the Shiver felt which is only natural, but it only amplified our grievances with the engine. The engine feels much better in the Dorsoduro configuration than in the Shiver. Perhaps the distinctive exhaust system causes some of this. There is something good hiding within the cylinder walls but it’s not being transmitted to the rider in the current configuration.The engine pushes out a claimed 95 ponies and lots of torque, but it was difficult to feel it. In first gear we had to help raise the revs with the clutch in the tightest hairpin corners.
