Honda's Innova takes the basic step-through scooter to an advanced new level of design, function and comfortable riding ease that will appeal to daily commuters as well as fun-seeking tourists. Thanks to its sleekly modern form and its affordability it will also appeal to younger riders. The new 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. Protection of the environment is also one of Honda's guiding tenets for the new century, and like most of the larger displacement motorcycles in its lineup, the new Innova has been designed to comply with the latest EURO-2 emissions regulations in Europe's ongoing quest for cleaner air.

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 for easy comprehension by even novice riders. 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
