I always was sad since I bought my first 1199 (coming from a MTS1200) that they dont have the keyless ignition. Want keyless ignition? Buy a new Multi. Helluva bike! I WANT one!

Agreed. Very tempted to pick up the new Multi.

I had a keyless system on a Concours 14. I saw no advantage to it, but it did have some disadvantages. You'll always be wondering which jacket or pants pocket you left your key in last time you rode. I really like having that handy key holder on my bikes as a place to "store" the key. My bikes sit in the garage and the keys are always in the ignition.

No. The PIN code function isn't keyless. In fact, you still need "A" key and the Pin System has to be active to start the bike. If active, when the bikes E-System fails or the bike doesn't recognize the key, the bike will allow you to enter a pin to start it. However, if you don't have a key, you won't get very far.

I would think racers forgo a traditional ignition altogether in favor of a toggle switch or push button start? Nevertheless, there are a number of aftermarket products available for this. For example; Digital Guard Dawg makes a universal keyless ignition system. Not sure how good any of them are, but there are options and at less than $300, it might be worth a try?

The only way I can see this working is to relocate (hide) the ignition itself with the key intact and bypass the ignition system with a remote start. The key would stay in the on position permanently and the relay/receiver would be installed before the signal gets to the starter/ecu. The only thing that would deter strangers from starting it would be a good install where you couldn't tell it was rewired.
This is the cheapest easiest way I could think of pulling this off.

The best non-alarm theft deterrent we have is locking our handle bars - no key kinda negates this feature

I have the keyless key on my '15 Multistrada. You still need the key to open the gap cap, so searching for it is a bit of a pain, unless you install the $300 electric gap cap, which I did.
My Multi will start, via a pin, but you still need to open the gas cap or get under the seat with a physical key.
If I had my choice between a normal key on my 1299 and a keyless system, I'll take the conventional key.

Not so sure about that, take a look at the videos on the 1299 page. The thieves snap the steering lock in seconds.
