47X build year

[Twinsport]

Hello gents,

After having enjoyed my 1GE for 20 years, I recently bought a 47X. The frame number is 47X0028**.

This bike was originally licensed in Italy and despite it being a 47X, it shows May 1987 as it "First licensed date". While this may be correct, is it safe to assume that all 47X were manufactured in 1984?

Thanks in advance.

I think all 47x are 1984.My one also came from Italy and made its way to me in Ireland in 2004.Is there any noticable difference between riding the 47x and 1ge?

I agree that all 47X are built in 1984. But getting a second opinion is always nice. Thanks.

I wouldn't be able to say if the ride is different. I bought my 47X with defective engine, so haven't ridden it yet. I wouldn't expect any differences.
