The Honda Melody Deluxe was a popular 1980s scooter designed for urban commuting. It featured a 49cc two-stroke engine and an automatic gearbox. Its compact and lightweight design made it perfect for the commute or young rider. Known for its simplicity and reliability, it was easy to handle and maintain and offered attractively low running costs. There was a standard Melody and a Mini Melody, though both were outsold by the Deluxe; all of them embodied convenience and efficiency in the same vein as Honda's Cub. Today, its size, light weight and nippy nature make it a fun and practical runabout for leisure use and transporting with a motorhome.
Melodys are a rare sight now, especially in good condition, and this is certainly a very good example of the Deluxe model. Little is known of its history except that it has resided for many years in the late owner’s large private motorcycle collection. However, its excellent and seemingly unrestored condition, plus the odometer reading of 6,344 miles, suggest that it has seen very little use during the course of its life, hence it appears now as an attractive and unusual preservation piece. With an appropriate and attractive patina visible under close inspection, this Melody is ideal for recommissioning and comes with the current V5C.
