🏍 Yamaha MT-09 | When tuning changes the protection

Over the years, we’ve built a whole protection lineup for the MT-09 / Tracer 900 family — crash bars, cages, subcages and combined systems.

But owners kept bringing us one specific problem: full aftermarket exhausts such as Akrapovič or Yoshimura can significantly change header geometry, making many cages incompatible.

That’s why we developed the Stunt V2 cage.

Its redesigned lower crossbar now runs beneath the engine, leaving room for both the stock exhaust and most full aftermarket systems.

The rest of the concept stays the same: compact geometry, good leg clearance, normal lean angles and serious protection for the engine, sides of the bike and rider’s legs.

For even more coverage, the cage can be paired with our subcage.

🏍 Honda VFR1200F | Serious protection without cutting the fairings

Even today, the Honda VFR1200F stands out among modern sport-tourers. A big V4, shaft drive, manual or DCT transmission — Honda packed a lot of unusual engineering into one motorcycle, and that individuality is exactly why the VFR1200 still has such a loyal following.

But as the bike becomes rarer, even a simple drop can become an expensive problem. Original bodywork and replacement parts aren't always easy to find anymore — and the prices rarely make the search more enjoyable.

That's exactly why we developed our own R-Gaza crash cage for the VFR1200F / FA / FD family.

💪 One of its most important features is installation without cutting or drilling the fairings. We designed dedicated mounting brackets that allow the cage to be securely installed without modifying the original bodywork.

The cage fits different model years, both manual and DCT versions, including Japanese-market motorcycles.

And for DCT owners, there's another useful detail: if your bike already has a transmission slider or carbon cover installed, it can stay in place. Our cage is designed to work around it.

🏍 Honda CBR650R | A very good kind of middle ground
The updated CBR650R with the manual gearbox gets a lot of things right at once. It’s light and manageable enough for everyday city riding, but once the road opens up, that inline-four quickly reminds you that this is still very much a CBR.

Commuting, a fast weekend ride, a longer trip or the occasional track day — the CBR650R feels perfectly natural in all of them.

And because bikes like this are meant to be ridden rather than admired in the garage, we developed a complete R-Gaza protection setup for it.

💪 Our crash cage and subcage help protect the engine covers, bodywork and rear section of the motorcycle — especially useful for slow-speed practice, moto gymkhana, training sessions or that very ordinary parking-lot drop.

Just as importantly, installation requires NO cutting or drilling of the fairings. The protection mounts to the motorcycle’s existing points and stays visually compact enough to work with the CBR650R’s sporty lines rather than against them.

Honda already made a motorcycle that gives you plenty of reasons to ride more often.

Our job is simply to make the occasional mistake a little less expensive.

🏍 Suzuki V-Strom 650 | Still one of the good ones

The V-Strom 650 has never needed much hype.

No DCT. No helmet-sized storage compartment where you'd expect the fuel tank. But what it does have is comfortable ergonomics, a genuinely usable seat and the kind of easy-going handling that makes you stop worrying about whether the next road is perfectly paved.

If the usual NC750X choice feels a little too familiar, the V-Strom is still very much worth a look.

And this is where R-Gaza comes in.

We manufacture both crash bars and a skid plate for the Suzuki V-Strom 650, giving the bike practical protection for the kind of riding it was made for.

The crash bars help protect the engine and vulnerable side areas in a drop. The skid plate takes care of what comes from below — rocks, rough surfaces, road edges and the occasional badly chosen line.

Nothing complicated here.

A capable motorcycle, a road that may or may not stay paved, and protection built for both.

🏍 Honda NC750X | R-Gaza Touring Protection

The NC750X may be one of Honda's most practical everyday motorcycles, but give it some luggage and a destination far enough from home, and it becomes a very capable traveler.

That's exactly the kind of riding we had in mind when we developed our Touring crash bars.

R-Gaza Touring is a substantial protection system built around the motorcycle — with particular attention paid not only to the engine and bodywork, but also to the rider's legs.

The design is modular: run the complete upper and lower setup for maximum coverage, or use the lower section on its own. And because real touring equipment eventually gets scratched, bent or tested properly, we also designed it with repairability in mind. Steel can be straightened or welded, and damaged sections can be replaced separately.

Over the years, hundreds of NC owners have put our Touring protection through thousands of very real drops — from parking lots to places where the pavement ended a long time ago.

It adds a little width to the bike.

But once the road gets questionable, those extra inches start making a lot of sense.

🏍 Kawasaki Z900 | A bike that invites you to experiment
Since its arrival in 2017, the Z900 has become one of Kawasaki's most recognizable naked bikes. A lively inline-four, manageable weight and easy handling make it equally at home in city traffic, on winding roads and on a long weekend ride.

And that's where our part of the story begins.

For the Kawasaki Z900, R-Gaza developed a complete protection setup: crash cage + subcage.

The main cage is built from Ø28 mm steel tubing, giving us the strength we need without surrounding the motorcycle with unnecessary bulk. Its geometry stays close to the bike, protecting the engine and vulnerable side areas while keeping the rider's space and everyday ergonomics intact.

The subcage continues that protection around the rear, creating a setup intended not just for an occasional parking-lot mishap, but also for riders who actually use the Z900 for practice, gymkhana or stunt training.

That's an important distinction for us.

Good protection shouldn't constantly remind you that it's there. You should be able to ride normally, move freely and enjoy the motorcycle exactly as you intended.
It's when the Z900 ends up on the pavement that those tubes finally have a reason to get your attention.

🏍 Kawasaki Ninja 650 | Now let's talk about protection

You see more and more Ninja 650s on the street — and it's easy to understand why. Light, agile, good-looking and genuinely fun to ride, it's a motorcycle that works equally well for everyday commuting, learning and weekend fun.

But we're not here to sell you a Kawasaki. We're here for what happens after you buy one.

💪 R-Gaza offers a complete protection setup for the Ninja 650: crash cage + subcage.

The cage stays compact around the motorcycle while protecting the engine and bodywork. It stays out of the rider's way and preserves normal lean angles. Add the subcage and the rear of the motorcycle gets serious protection as well.

It's a setup made for real life: everyday riding, parking-lot mishaps, slow-speed practice, gymkhana, stunt training — or simply that unfortunate moment when your boot finds gravel instead of pavement.

The Ninja 650 invites you to ride, learn and experiment. Our job is to make sure a mistake doesn't automatically turn into a shopping list of replacement parts.

🏍 Honda NC750X | R-Gaza City Skid Plate
A skid plate seems like a pretty simple piece of equipment — until it's time to change the oil, wash out a season's worth of dirt, or repair the damage after a solid encounter with a curb.

That's why we designed our City skid plate not only to protect the NC750X, but also to be easy to live with.

The 4 mm aluminum plate mounts to three separate steel brackets. Install the brackets once and they stay on the motorcycle.

Need access for maintenance? Remove six bolts and the skid plate comes off. When you're done, six bolts put it back in place. No need to disturb the mounting brackets every time.

We took the same practical approach to repairs. Aluminum can be straightened or welded after a hard impact. The steel brackets can also be repaired — or replaced individually if one is damaged beyond saving.

There is plenty of clearance on the right side to wash accumulated dirt out with a pressure washer. And the space between the skid plate and the engine case is intentional: the protection needs room to flex and absorb impact instead of simply transferring it straight into the engine.

All this costs only about 10-12 mm of ground clearance while providing practical protection for the engine case and exhaust headers against stones, curbs, broken pavement and everyday road hazards.

Simple to install. Simple to service. Simple to repair.

That's exactly how we think everyday protection for the NC750X should work.

🏍 Honda NC700 / NC750X | Built to keep going

The Honda NC has never been the motorcycle people buy to impress anyone.

It isn't outrageously powerful, particularly exotic or desperate for attention. Instead, Honda gave it something much more useful: the ability to do almost everything reasonably well — and keep doing it for a very long time.

Commuting, touring, traffic, back roads, occasional gravel, huge mileage. Add DCT and the whole philosophy becomes even clearer: get on, ride, repeat.

💪 Our R-Gaza Touring protection was designed with much the same attitude.

This is not a decorative loop of tubing around the engine. The complete system creates extensive protection around the motorcycle, covering the engine cases, bodywork and — importantly — helping protect the rider's legs when the bike goes down.

It's arguably one of the most comprehensive protection systems available for the NC family.

But comprehensive doesn't have to mean complicated.

The system is modular. Want maximum coverage? Install the complete upper and lower setup. Prefer a cleaner, simpler configuration? Leave the upper section off and use the lower protection on its own.

We also designed it with life after a fall in mind. Individual sections can be replaced when necessary, maintenance is minimal, and the system is built to tolerate the kind of everyday abuse an NC often encounters.

And we've had plenty of opportunities to find out whether the idea works.

Hundreds of customers. Thousands of real-world drops and falls.

After all those years, our philosophy remains very simple:

The Honda NC was built to keep going.

R-Gaza Touring protection was built to help make sure a fall doesn't change those plans.

🏍 Honda NT1100 | Good crash bars start behind the tubes

Protecting a fully faired touring motorcycle isn't simply a matter of putting more steel around it.

The real question is what happens to the impact when that steel meets the ground.

The Honda NT1100 made this particularly challenging. There are relatively few accessible, solid frame locations for crash protection, while the fairings, radiator and engine leave plenty that needs protecting.

So we started with something you may barely notice in the finished product.

💪 A dedicated front support bracket.

Mounted to the motorcycle's frame, this substantial bracket became the structural foundation around which we designed the entire R-Gaza Touring protection system.

That changes the philosophy of the design. Instead of simply surrounding the NT1100 with tubes attached wherever convenient, the upper and lower crash bars work around a common structural base designed to distribute impact loads through strong mounting points.

The lower section protects the engine covers and helps protect the rider's legs. The upper section extends protection around the fairings and radiator.

The result is a substantial protection system without unnecessary compromises: no drilling the bodywork, removable upper bars, room for auxiliary lights and cameras, and compatibility with both manual and DCT versions of the NT1100.

The visible tubes are only part of good motorcycle protection.

What really matters is the engineering behind them — and where the impact goes when things go wrong.

That's where our NT1100 Touring crash bars began.
