I bought my Innova new in Sept.05 to replace my dying honda 90, The 90 was used for commuting all year round including round journeys of 50 miles plus, though the majority were in the reagion of 20 miles. 7 days a week in all weathers it could be relied apon. I have been riding since 1976 having passed my test in 1977, and have always had a bike of some sort since then, i also currently ride a Kawasaki ZZR1100, so i think i have a wide enough experience of motorcycles in general to be able to give an informed opinion of the Innova 125.
