Fans of Ducati's Monster range may be excited to read they can now invest in the 696 models at zero per cent finance.

The motorcycle brand could extend its appeal among bike insurance policyholders with the new promotion, which sees buyers make low payments over 36 months with zero per cent annual percentage rate.

Available to those who put down a deposit of at least 50 per cent, the deal could make it easier for riders to budget.

Ducati has said it will also offer a finance deal for those who provide 25 per cent of the price upfront, with an option of paying a flat rate of 2.4 per cent over 48 months.

Commenting on the model, which was re-launched in 2008, Ducati said: "The 696 is regarded as the entry level Ducati, striking a balance between performance and usability appealing to a wide range of riders both experienced and those new to motorcycling."

According to the firm, the model's low seat height encourages sure-footed handling while its low weight allows for enhanced control and powerful performance from its 80hp engine.

Ducati also recently launched its logomania panel accessories for the Monster range, allowing buyers to customise their machines to their own tastes.
