wave right or wrong for me

i started off with the thought that it would save money if i travel to work on a bike i tried before, i got a xv535 didnt really gel with it. it had a oil leak on the base gasket of the rear cylinder i took the engine out and spent about a year getting round to putting it back in any excuse not to do it, poor light in garage ,to cold ,my back aches, finally done it an the mot ran out about 2 days later .
where i live there is a lot of mud on the road and on a wet day its not very good i changed the bars to flat tracker type bars but its just the weight of it on mud covered lanes i went for an mot and nearly hit /got hit by a range rover we both slid past each other
i took the edge of the rd through the mud skidding legs every where next was mot re test went down the road round the corner all
with 3" of mud except may be 9" to a foot of clear road each side turned left down a bit of a hill and 2 horeses are coming up i was not doing much more than walking pace and slid 20 ft before stopping .after that i rode to work once after bad weather and a lot of the roads were like riding down a river bed .i have 2 miles of roads like this one way or to get to work 1 mile bad mud like a track 4.5 miles of roads that can be bad but most have bean re surfaced since my last attempts and 5 miles of good road .
my partner just read this and said it sounds like you cant ride a bike so i would just like to add im 47 and had bikes since i was
at primary school use to do a bit of trials riding not really in to sport bikes like bikes like xs650 ,xt,dt,x7,rd,cb, cd,but years ago kept finding my self with c90 s for transport not had one for over 20 years an nether had one of them modern ones with metallic paint
any way i thought one of the honda sh scooter things with a tocano leg covers would be good for work and then came across a innova local for sale but it had sold but the man had a wave as well hes mot ing it then its for sale .
so my thoughts are honda wave Heidenau K46 tyres im 20 stone and have a 1 mile long hill to come up
scince having this idea of getting a small bike with a bit of protection from the weather i have watched c90 adventures
and read some of your trips on here i know my brother would love us to do a enduro run like loundon to lands end
and i wanted us to do it on bsa bantams but i now think it would be great to do it on c90 s and some road trips
i think a wave would be better for work but i do like to be able to fix things myself
i wounder how a cub with a big bore kit would compare as i think they are more robust
