Thanks, will keep an eye on it (more out of my own curiosity!)
She really does handle like a dream, the confidence getting lean on is unreal compared to the hornet. Always wary in corners after seeing my mate almost end himself though!

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.

Thanks Darren! It's more than enough power to enjoy, and learn on. I'd rather get the most out of the performance that's there than be on a bike that's too much to handle so its maybe not a bad thing! Especially as only been riding for less than a year!
Maybe in a couple years I'll upgrade to something more powerful!
