My frame number is 525-222716 it was registered in August 1985 yet declared manufactured in 1984, mine should also be a 1980 model according to the list, yours looks like it is slightly newer than mine maybe by a day or so.

However someone did mention that a dealer in the UK purchased a bulk lot of TY's back in the 80's and sold them off gradually over the years.
