Personally I don't think a grand off last years model, even if unregistered, is anything to write home about.
KTM offering 5k off a model is a clearance, ducati have a lot to learn if they want to get people to jump from old to new
If there was £5k in a bike for a Ducati dealer, I’m sure the discounts would be better but there isn’t. The Ducati business model is to sell the debt for all new bikes to a US finance company who all dealers are expected to pay as soon as the bike is delivered. In reality the US finance house charges dealers interest on the trade value of the bike until it is sold. All UK dealers are audited on a monthly basis to check stock to ensure monies are paid promptly. Ducati UK dealers do not make a living out of just selling bikes. Andy
I dont think they would be Andy, as if they can sell full price, why not? Makes even more a mockery of a dealer offering 10k on a 15m old S
Not saying it was, but I guess this could well have been a contributing factor to the discount given... If they had plans a foot and stock to sell. I certainly haven't heard of many people reporting big discounts on new Ducati's...
