That yellow one as you call it is an Yamaha OW48 YRZ500 when it appeared in on the GP grid in 1980 in the hands of the then world champ Kenny Roberts it just blow away the opposition and gave him his third consecutive world title.

CX 500!! Or it's "Superior" the CX650......TURBO!
Made me smile this, as the first bike I threw me leg over was a C50, with fairing removed. I was 11 years old and forgot to shut off, I found out the importance of gloves and not wearing shorts on a 'ped/bike...
Instantly recognisables?
C50/70/90
RD 250/350 LC
RD125/200/250/400
Hardley Capables
Plastic Maggots (CX500)
Triumph Bonneville
Norton Commando
GS500/750/1000
And my all time Favourite... Laverda Jota, in Tango Orange
