Buy now, pay later (or don't) for a Ducati Scrambler 800 on new 50/50 interest-free finance deal

Ducati have launched a one-of-a-kind finance offer on their £10,995 Full Throttle, and Nightshift plus £9995 Icon Scrambler retro models.

The deal will give customers access to a brand-new bike, totally interest free and with no monthly repayments to pay with a 50% upfront deposit.

After two years, customers can then choose to pay the remaining half of the bike’s retail value, securing their ownership, or give the keys back and move on to another brand-new model.

Whatever option is elected for, no interest will be charged on the original purchase price and the deal is completely free of monthly instalments.  

The offer applies exclusively to any of the three 800 Scrambler models in Ducati’s lineup. The big brother in the family, Ducati’s larger and more premium £14,495 Scrambler 1100 Sport Pro, is not included but can be purchased through a traditional monthly finance agreement. 

The 800 Scrambler fleet gives customers the choice between three models. All are fundamentally similar, sharing the same trellis chassis and 803cc 71.9bhp four-valve Desmodromic air-cooled V-twin motor.

Suspension and seat height remain the same across the board too, only weight differs slightly, with the spoked-wheeled Nightshift coming in at 176kg, 6kg more than its cast wheels shod siblings. 

If Scramblers aren’t your thing, Ducati will also be running a Season Opening event in most dealers on Saturday, 20 April – giving customers the chance to head along and sample the new range.

This includes the raucous new £10,995 Hypermotard 698 Mono supermoto or luxurious £23,595 Multistrada V4S Grand Tour adventure bike.
