Review

The 2007 Ducati Monster 695 represents a significant chapter in the iconic Monster lineage, serving as an accessible entry point into the world of Italian V-twin motorcycles. Building upon the Monster's enduring popularity, the 695 aimed to broaden its appeal while retaining the essential character that enthusiasts cherish. In its market segment, it faced direct competition from models like the Kawasaki ER-6n and the Suzuki SV650, all vying for riders seeking a capable and stylish naked bike.

At the heart of the Monster 695 is its air-cooled, 695.00 ccm (42.41 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This Desmodromic powerplant produces a robust 72.01 HP (52.6 kW) at 8500 RPM, offering ample power for spirited riding. Torque figures stand at 61.00 Nm (6.2 kgf-m or 45.0 ft.lbs) at a lower 6200 RPM, providing a satisfying pull through the gears. With a dry weight of 168.0 kg (370.4 pounds), the power-to-weight ratio contributes to its agile feel. Fuel capacity is 14.00 litres (3.70 gallons), allowing for reasonable range between fill-ups.

Riding the Monster 695 reveals its naked bike characteristics. The upright stance, facilitated by a seat height of 770 mm (30.3 inches) (lowest setting if adjustable), provides a comfortable and commanding riding position. Its lightweight chassis and accessible power delivery make it highly maneuverable, whether navigating urban environments or carving through winding roads. The Monster's signature trellis frame contributes to its precise handling and distinctive aesthetic.

The 2007 Ducati Monster 695 appeals to a wide array of riders, from those new to the brand seeking an approachable Ducati to experienced motorcyclists desiring a light, characterful machine for daily use or weekend excursions. Its blend of traditional Ducati styling, accessible power, and manageable weight makes it a compelling option for anyone looking for a distinctive and engaging naked motorcycle experience. It remains a well-regarded model for its simplicity and pure riding enjoyment.
