The lads in Ducati have applied a bit of spit 'n polish to the first rung on the Monster ladder [400cc example exempted]. A jump in capacity to 695cc sees power blossom to 73 ponies allied to 62Nm, pretty much on par with outputs of the SV now. Some nicely applied colour scheme options and the usual list of decent equipment, Marzocchi 43mm inverted forks plus Sachs rear shock, round off a rather tempting Italian package. All the ingredients of a continued sucess really.
