I was watching that but not in any position to collect or ride still and with the keyless ignition I'm leaning more towards the new MSX or CBF125

I agree with Bogger, keyless is excellent. Had a Grom, couldn’t get on with it and a CBF is a motorbike not a step through so not the same thing. Strangely they fit keyed ignition to the CT125 so there will be no chance of picking up the wrong key when it arrives.

Have to say I struggled to like the MK1 Grom (didn't buy one stuck to RV125s) it was like the rebel,when I got off I had to check it was still there and not stuck between the cheeks of my arse it was that tiny.

The CBF with some work would likely suit where I'm living as I can literally ride for miles between towns without tyres on tarmac (chausse access)

Also a lack of kick or bump start would be a ball ache in the deepest countryside miles from civilization.

An old school DRZ/KLX/CRF be best suited but my back wouldn't allow such harsh seating anymore

Yes it is. So much more convenient :D

And the bike won’t start if I’m more than a couple of feet away, three feet at the most.

I just phoned Cruncherkid to find out how to start mine. I managed it once, couldn't do it again. Poked and stabbed at the buttons, waggled the knob. what a bloody pallaver!
