Yea, but does it cook a good steak?

IMO the 695 will feel under powered and slow compared to an FZ, if you want that kind of performance you need a 900 or bigger or a 4V. Still plenty of fun to be had with the small Ducati V twin character and great handling though.

Looks like a really tidy bike, very clean.
