What Ducati Say...
The easiest way to own a Ducati - 2007 early model release
The 695 is a most unique offering in the world of motorcycles – welcoming to beginners, and yet able to deliver a level of performance that can also thrill advanced riders.
What we say...
A PERFECT replacement for the always popular 620 Monster, The upgraded 695cc motor is fantastic, with service intervals at 7500 miles, the M695 is the lowest cost Ducati to buy AND run! Very light clutch and low seat height make this the perfect first bike that you wont get bored of easily.
Compared to the 620, which it replaces, the 695 is a leap forward in performance. The potent new L-twin delivers much greater horsepower and torque – the highest output per cc of any Ducati air-cooled engine. But just as important, the 695's engine produces smoother and more fluid power, while still making every twist of the throttle exciting.
The 695 introduces new graphics and colour treatments in step with its increased performance. A matte black colour combined with red, long associated with Ducati Corse, has been selectively applied to the bike.
The engine of the 695 is its most important technical advancement, and much more than an additional 75 cc's of displacement might indicate. The new L-twin delivers new levels of horsepower and torque but also, just as important, smoother and more fluid power. The 63 hp of the 620 has been increased to 73 hp for the 695, the highest output per cubic centimetre of all Ducati air-cooled engines.
The rider's environment on the 695 is one of comfort, control and confidence. With the lowest seat height of any Ducati, riders can plant both feet securely on the ground. The rider's position is more upright as hands reach to a set of raised handlebars that are a bit wider for increased comfort and control. The footpegs strike a comfortable balance between a rearward 'sport' position and a forward 'laid-back' sport cruiser position. All in all, a rider feels confident and in control aboard a Monster 695.
The 695 takes full advantage of the confidence inspiring road-holding and stability contribution of the Ducati trellis frame design. The trellis frame is light, rigid and beautiful, and distinctively Ducati. Quality Marzocchi 43 mm inverted forks and a Sachs rear shock, both crafted in Italy, smooth out the bumps and add their share of poise to the 695's road manners.
Technical improvements
Ongoing investment in our factory's processes, machinery and training, as well as 'engineering-in' reliability through design, materials and testing, has reaped significant and quantifiable improvements in every Ducati motorcycle. As a result, each new Monster 695's owner benefits by way of extending the interval for the first complete service until
