I would go for a twist and go superscoot.

Just get home and sling it in the shed.
To me a commuter 'bike' is just a tool, you don't have to love it, it just has to do the job.
If you want something to love..."Ducati for the weekend sir?" |
Spot on
we have a Gilera nexus on demo at the moment and its a proper hoot, Off the line its as quick as most bikes and you can scare a all but the most dedicated of the R1 brigade on it,
I even considered taking it to day 2 of the dsc track attack this year.
