The MT-09 is one heck of a bike. My son has got one (with full Akrapovic exhaust and power commander). It is a mental machine. It handles great but the seat is damn uncomfortable (plank of wood). I still prefer my FZS1000 though as the tank range is far better and there's no way my other half would go on the back of the MT-09 unless I changed that seat.
Derbi Terra 125 or Derbi Senda DRD 125 (basically the same thing with different clothes) are great if you want a 125. My Mrs had the Derbi Senda 125 DRD after having a Yammie XT125R. The Derbi has quality suspension and far better brakes than the Yam. But it is a tall bike with a narrow seat so it's not for everyone. Great bike though.
I don't like this idea of bikes with a 100 mile tank range. It would wind me up having to stop so often to refill the tank.
Arfa - I would stick with the obvious choice.
