Ducati Monster 620 Dark - 2005
Monster 620 (620 Dark single disc, 620 Dark, 620)
The lightweight Monsters are available in three different models, each with its own price tag to satisfy all pockets. The version with the lowest price of all is the Monster 620 Dark single disc, finished exclusively in matt black like all Dark models. In terms of components the single disc is the closest of the new models to the original Monster. One step up from the single disc is the 620 Dark. Then comes the most classical of all, the Monster 620, in a choice of three colours.
All 2005 620's are equipped with the APTC clutch that proved such a success when it was introduced a year ago. All 620 Monsters therefore now benefit from smoother clutch action plus an anti-skid "slipper" device. Novices will immediately feel the benefit of this exclusive new clutch because the bike has become much easier to ride, and more expert riders will gain from the fact that it is also ideal for sports riding.
