Ducati Monster 695 (2006)

The updated Ducati Monster 695 is set to make its presence felt in the market with a new 695cc engine that promises to deliver a more exhilarating riding experience.

At the heart of this potent little beast lies a 90-degree L-twin cylinder, SOHC desmodromic configuration with two valves per cylinder, generating a claimed 73 horsepower and 45 lb-ft of torque at 6750 rpm. The added displacement brings with it improved low-end and mid-range snap, making this engine truly come alive.

But the Monster 695 is not just about brute power; it also boasts a host of refinements that make it an even more rewarding machine to ride. A progressive linkage with preload and rebound adjustable Sachs monoshock provides exceptional handling, while the longer wheel travel of 148mm adds to its stability and poise on the road.

The Monster 695 is set to prove itself as one of the most exciting and capable entry-level motorcycles on the market today.
