My understanding is that the motive was to proceed more freely through rush-hour traffic by giving other road users the impression that it's a police bike and hoping that they give way.
When I had my Pan European, just wearing a high viz jacket made a big different even though the bike was slow red and I had a black helmet, people moved out of the way much better than whenever I didn't wear the high viz.
The muppets probably thought I was plod as I used to get people intentionally blocking my way without hi-viz but nobody tried that when I wore it.

similar with me when riding an RT, people see big bike and hi viz and think plod. Had lane 3 to myself :lol
these days on the bandit, twats sit in lane 3 with nothing in 1 and 2 and won't budge
fire never sleeps
