It would seem that the serial numbers for each production run are correct but it is not the full picture.The list does not show the 47X and 1GE model bikes but i am working on getting this info now i have a contact at Yamaha UK .I now know how many 47x and 1GE bikes came to the UK and will post the letter i got from Yamaha confirming this soon if anyone wants to see it .

Steve , I figured you were on it ... that's why I posted the letter in this section .. so just speculating / guessing by what was built by adding the 1GE & 47X bikes , how many total could there be ? 10K units ??
And were all,, lets say 52X bikes made at the same production run / time frame or were the different models mixed together on the assy. line ? just curious if anyone has that info ...but really just trying to nail down total units produced ...... cheers

I have spoken to my contact at Yamaha UK again and it seems even their records do not make it very clear .He spent a long time on the phone going over the numbers but it seems that all their stuff was rearchived in the mid 1990`s and some info is lost forever.I still hope to get a reply from Yamaha Japan but this will take some time.This is what i know for now but it may not be 100% correct.I will keep you all up todate as i find out more.
This is what we know to be correct.
This is the info i have.
SERIAL NO. 47X000101 - (First production run)
SERIAL NO. 47X00???? - (Second production run)
SERIAL NO. 1GE000101 - Here is the letter from Yamaha UK,where the date says 1986 this should be 1985.The last bike into the UK was .The last 1GE was

This was in a 1986 uk bike magazine which confirms the number of 1ge bikes sold in 1985 leaving just over which were sold in 1986/87.
