Gawd bless the never-never: PCP plans and easy finance has helped the UK bike trade shift loads more machines over the past few years. Giving prospective owners the option of low monthly payments (albeit with a hefty final payment if you want to own it) has lowered the bars to entry for loads of folk.

And Ducati’s been in the vanguard of this new financial world order. Its Tri-Options scheme has been one of the more notable setups, and has been going for longer than most. Now, the Bolognan firm is extending its range of interest-free offers across five of the Scrambler 800cc versions: the Icon in Red and Yellow, the Classic, Full Throttle and Flat Track Pro, plus all the colours of the 400cc Scrambler Sixty2.

Obviously, bikesportnews.com is not an independent financial advisor, so we can’t possibly tell you to get down the Ducati shop with the housekeeping cash forthwith. But if we were you, we’d certainly be thinking about it. The value of Scramblers can go down as well as up, your home life may be at risk if you buy a Ducati without telling the missus, etc etc.
