To me it looks like the very first Edition of the Compact frame1987/88! This is a very sole survivor because many of them broke at the rear dropouts. Few survived in original colour/decal scheme - like yours. Its the only collectable Compact, because its the only one which has Access to the registro storico of Gios italy. All the really rare parts are on the frame, like dropout ends, rubbers for the brakecable lining through the frame and the badge are mounted. So forget the jap-crap and look at this unique piece of bike history. It was the FIRST ever made frame with this Technology.
When you post the complete framenumber, I can tell you the buildyear.
