Rare Navy Frame, Full Stock Honda Steed 600, 8,557 km, 1988

Exceptional all-original Steed 600 with rare factory navy frame and tank paint. First registered December 1988, approximately 38 years old. Odometer shows 8,557 km. Engine starts reliably via electric starter after warm-up; idle stable and throttle response good. Test ride showed no obvious handling issues. Seller notes this is a nearly complete survival example in an era when the vast majority of Steed 600s were heavily customized or had components changed. All electrical systems confirmed working: headlight, taillight, turn signals, horn. Includes one original key. Comes with documentation (registration return certificate and transfer certificate); vehicle inspection expired. Tires: front 4/10, rear 8/10 with cracks in sidewall but still usable. Throughout the machine: scattered scratches, surface rust, touch-up repairs. Specific defects noted by seller: aluminum corrosion on bottom crankcase, front wheel corrosion and rust with touch-up, air filter cover aluminum corrosion, small scratches and paint loss on tank, tear in seat, rear wheel rust. Front fork has light surface rust. Tank interior has protective coating with uneven texture. Seller acknowledges this is a 38-year-old used machine and does not warrant continued operation; buyers should budget for post-purchase shop inspection and service before riding.

Approximately 38 years old with scattered surface rust, scratches, and corrosion typical of age. Seller advises that despite current operation, immediate shop inspection and maintenance is necessary before road use.
