FIRST LOOK: HONDA ANF 125I INNOVA

The distinctive and lively ANF125i Innova was first introduced to the European market in 2003 as a swift, stylish and highly economical step-through runabout for both young new riders and those with more experience who also feel young at heart. Its bright and attractive sense of style and panache extends through sleek, full-coverage bodywork and remarkably comfortable accommodations to give its rider a zesty taste of refreshing style that catches the eye and sets the scene for fun days ahead. Providing a comfortable ride and easy operation, the Innova’s modern form exudes a sleekly urbane sense of elegance that has proved especially appealing to younger riders looking for a bit of easy, high value fun while zipping about from place to place.

NEW STYLING

The new Innova never fails to attract admiring glances with its sleek and modern big wheel scooter styling, which integrates slim proportions and gently curving lines with a swift-looking image that fits right in on both city streets and beachside promenades, providing an exciting expression of light-hearted enjoyment and good times ahead.

Sleeker New Design
The Innova’s distinctive full-coverage ‘Cub’-style bodywork is even sleeker and more stylish in its new 2007 version. Subtle yet effective changes to such details as its front nose and leg shields emphasise its sporty disposition, while the lines of its side and seat cowls taper up and back to further accentuate its look of speedy nimbleness. New louvred air vents lend a touch of style to the sides of its step-through body, while behind its spacious and comfortable tandem seat a newly designed cast aluminium grab rail provides passengers with a comfortable and secure hand grip on trips around town.
The Innova’s controls and instrument panel are essentially unchanged from its original design, and feature handy push-to-cancel indicator switch, an LCD odometer, a 6-segment electronic fuel gauge and a 4-segment LED gear indicator for instantly recognisable readout of all running conditions.

NEW LIGHTING

The Innova’s steering head assembly mounts a larger new multi-reflector headlight that’s fitted with a brilliant new halogen bulb for a longer range of illumination that greatly facilitates night-time riding. The corners of its front cowl integrate newly designed indicators with flush-mounted lenses, while under its tail resides a brilliant, elegantly styled new tail-light.

COLOURING CONCEPT

The Innova’s sleeker and more stylish looking new bodywork is highlighted by elegant lines and superb quality of construction. Its four attractive new two-tone colour variations excite the eye with a look of luxury that pays further compliments to its exciting urban sense of style.
Leading off is a brilliant two-tone metallic silver that attractively accentuates the Innova’s sinewy curves in a glistening lustre of modern European style. The new Innova looks especially fast and potent in a fathomless sparkling metallic black, complemented by a neutral metallic brown. In eye-catching candy red and orange, the Innova brightens every scene it becomes a part of, while in rich two-tone candy blue, it seems to bring along the glistening hues of the seaside wherever it roams.

ENGINE

Maintaining its reputation for dependable performance since its 2003 debut, the Innova’s dependable air-cooled single-cylinder engine incorporates proven Honda 4-stroke technology for strong, satisfying performance and exceptional long-term, low-maintenance reliability. Its overhead cam (OHC) valve actuation system helps ensure a strong surge of power to carry a rider and passenger long distances with speed, comfort and confident ease, and its easy one-touch electric starting system combines with an all-new electronic fuel injection system and fully electronic ignition to ensure quick, reliable starts anywhere and anytime, from warm seasides to cold mountain passes.

New PGM-FI Fuel Injection System
Perhaps the most significant change in the new Innova is the addition of its new PGM-FI fuel injection system, which provides exceptionally easy starting and strong, responsive performance in virtually all riding conditions. A compact Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) minutely controls the volume of air passing through the fuel injection throttle body to maintain steady idling and smooth low-rpm response that ensures incomparable riding ease for anyone from expert to beginner.

CHASSIS

Unchanged from its first debut, the Innova’s sleek and slim proportions are supported by a sturdy step-through frame that’s built on a large, single, rectangular-section steel backbone linking the steering head to the rear engine hanger and swingarm pivot plates.
Suspension duties continue to be handled by a compliant smooth-action 26mm leading-axle hydraulic front fork that delivers quick and confident control, and a pair of conventional rear dampers that absorb the bumps of the road to provide a comfortable and highly enjoyable ride for one or two.
The Innova’s large-diameter 17" wire spoke wheels are stopped by a strong and responsive 220mm dual-piston calliper front disk brake and a 110mm leading/trailing shoe rear drum brake for an optimised balance of easy and dependable braking control.
