Honda ANF125 Innova
The Innova introduces a new generation of smart and stylish step-through
scooters that offer even wider appeal than the famous Super Cub it replaced
in our range. Featuring a host of modern features it sticks true to the
Honda step-through philosophy of producing a motorcycle that is easy to
use and maintain, offers super fuel efficiency and has bullet-proof reliability.
With its great looks, wide range of easy operating features, strong performance,
low fuel economy and remarkably low price, the Innova will prove to be as
strong an attraction on the streets of London and Manchester as the cities
of Southern Europe it was designed for.
Honda ANF125 Innova Features
Reliability
The Innova places a strong emphasis on long-term endurance and reliability
with its world-proven, time-tested 4-stroke engine technology and quality
construction. This inherent peace-of-mind also extends to such features
as its large, bright multi-reflector headlight and large, elegantly styled
muffler cover, while extra convenience comes in the form of easy push-button
starting and the spacious carrying capacity found under its locking tandem
seat.
Forward leg shields are integrated into its bodywork to provide protection
against the wind and elements while still maintaining a slim, easy-riding
form. Below, a sharply designed undercowl takes up room under the engine
to complement the bodywork's design.
Forward visage
The forward visage is topped by a compact handlebar cover, with curvaceous
lines blending cleanly into the curves of its beautifully moulded multi-reflector
headlight, with its large, clear lens. Below this, its forward bodywork
is highlighted by a centrally positioned front grille covering its built-in
horn, while large, eye-catching multi-reflector indicators take prominent
position, cleanly integrated into the upper edges of the leg shields.
At the rear, compact indicators mounted on flexible stalks are positioned
on either side of the compact, high-visibility taillight integrated into
the Innova's tail.
Seating comfort is a big feature on the Innova, and its broad, flat tandem
seat provides a comfortable perch for two. Underneath the tilt-up seat
is a convenient 7-litre carrying space to hold a number of travelling
essentials.
Foot rests are standard rubber-sheathed motorcycle-type pegs, including
fold-up pillion pegs mounted on sleekly styled cast aluminium stays. A
large, cast aluminium pillion grip surrounds the rear of the seat, providing
a comfortable and convenient hand hold for passengers, while offering
a secure anchor to tie down larger parcels.

Underlining the Innova's sleek and modern look is a long, slim chrome-plated
silencer with a daring slash-cut end that brilliantly accentuates its
swift and lively personality while providing a quiet yet distinctive exhaust
note.
Controls include all the standard items for this class of motorbike, and
are built into the upper handlebar cover for a clean, integrated look,
with even a handy push-to-cancel turn indicator switch to ensure quick
operation. Even the instrument panel is a step above the ordinary, with
such 'big bike' features as its LCD odometer and 5-segment electronic
fuel level indicator, and round 5-segment LED gear indicator display providing
instantly recognisable readout of all running conditions around the panel's
large, centrally positioned speedometer dial. LED indicator lights are
marked with ISO symbols. The instrument panel is illuminated for easy
viewing even at night, and the daytime headlight system further ensures
the Innova stands out on the street, day and night.
Engine
The Innova's engine is also designed to be both easy on the environment
and easy on the wallet, with its newly improved carburettor providing
a robust 46 miles of operation on a single litre of fuel (measured at
an operating urban speed of 33mph) for excellent fuel economy, with virtually
no smoke-producing oil consumption.
The engine also features an externally mounted low-emissions Air Induction
system, which feeds fresh air into the engine's exhaust port to ensure
more complete burning of exiting exhaust gases, subsequently reducing
exhaust emissions to well within current EURO-2 emissions regulations.
Engine noise is also kept to a minimum, with a large-volume exhaust silencer
keeping exhaust output muffled to a quiet burble, and a silent chain driving
the single overhead cam to greatly reduce the sound of mechanical noise.
Transmission
The Innova's easy-shifting 4-speed transmission features an automatic
centrifugal clutch that allows easy gear changes without need of manual
clutch operation. It also features a convenient rotary configuration that
permits shifting directly from top gear to neutral after coming to a complete
stop, rather than downshifting through all the gears.
An innovative External Primary Brake System (EPBS) built into the changer
mechanism helps keep gear shifts smooth and free of the jerky operation
sometimes associated with automatic clutch transmissions. Its see-saw
changer features a standard toe shifter at the front and a heel pad at
the back to make shift operation easy while protecting shoes from scuffs
and scrapes into the bargain.
