But the 695 is a two valver, with I quote:
"the highest output per cubic centimetre of all Ducati air-cooled engines."
I'd say this points to continuing development for 2-valvers, but I'm not sure there's much milage in following the jap route of ever bigger bore, shorter stroke for higher gas flow/peak power.
If I was running dev in Ducati I'd be splitting 2v down two paths, one long stroke, big flywheel, lumpy torque classic style, and one wide bore, high flow, fast revving, high output sporty style.
Either way they're a damn sight easier to look after than a 4v!
