[AK]

Copied from a post on UKMOC - cheers Zimbo - which Zimbo found on a USA site:

"Ducati has finally sat down and made it's entry level engine that much more exciting. The small air-cooled L-twin has got a 75cc volume increase and 10 extra horsepower. This makes the new 695 the most powerful air-cooled Ducati per c.i. ever. The new Monster 695 will replace the old 620 already in April in Europe and the rest of the world this Autumn. This also means the 620 Multistrada is in the pipeline for the new engine that it really needed. Full press release with official pictures tomorrow after the Paris launch. With a new 73bhp engine the entry level Monster can more easily carry some extra luggage or a pillion."

Please can everyone NOT tell AK..................
