Yellow must have been a trendy bike gear colour in late 60's early 70's . Note the lack of indicators (had wiring but an 'optional extra' in the UK).

Possibly a UK registration plate ..so they didn't have to drill the front guard of the Euro bike. typical taht we were probably the last country to get the 500/4 , just like the CB750K0

I did warn you I would become an anorak on these :) Must have been a Europe Direct sales model on loan to them Ken

Definitely looks like pics of two different bikes then.
The switch is there in the first B/W pic in the article (along with the strange bracket) but not apparent in the colour cover shot or the larger B/W pic on the second article page.
Moustaches were also 'in' in the 70s along with yellow suits.
