Yeah that's a shame if he's not likely to get hands on with it but being so lazy as to refuse to shift your own gears is inexcusable 😂
I'd say best bet is something like a Mutt 125 that will look the part and make him want to get out and ride it without having to get his hands dirty... if it sticks he'll be looking to size up and do his own projects in no time but if he starts into a project and never finishes it he won't get as far as the good bit of riding it...
In fact would he consider going for a 250? If he's 27 now and anymore than a slip of a thing he'd probably enjoy the extra CCs when he's back on British roads?
