It is all personal choice of course but I think most people... well, me at least.... are thinking more of protection from the stupid drops e.g. maneuvering the bike at very low speed.
I see your point but what if the low speed drop doesn't write it off? You're left with a battered bike that (although no guarantees I'll admit) may have been saved to a large extent by a replaceable crash bung or two.
I've got these coming. I'm pretty sure they fix up across the engine block: Crash Protectors Yamaha MT-09 13-15 GSG Mototechnik Streetline black
Be interested to see those installed, no pics of them actually on an mt09 that I could find anywhere ??
Pretty much the best engine case protection you'll find:

These GSG Mototechnik engine sliders arrived today. They look very capable and substantial. You can see where they'll go by the below Google image:
...Why is it only Yamaha who do the lower ones is this sort of 'bridge' design ? I know they're relatively expensive and not considered vfm but I'd have thought someone else would have based a design on them by now...?
Thanks for the pic, look good - I'd say they're similar in concept & design to the SW-Motech ones I now have but the slider is a bit longer on them. If I'd seen these first, I'd have gone for them too.

because they don't work very well on their own?
