CB 650 engine guard?

Hello guys, tomorrow I'm gonna be a proud owner of a 2023 honda cb650 r. My question is about crash protection from what I have found the only options are:

  1. Frame sliders, I heard that frame sliders is a big no no and especially if it's single point but I'm also sceptical for 2 point slider.

  2. Crash bars, they are kind of bulky and I don't really like them but it is also the best protection, the bike already comes with a crazy iron, though I don't like it

  3. Engine case covers like puig or GB racing

  4. Nothing, the braver choice of all (don't know how I feel about that)

I'm my endless search I have found that either the engine case covers from puig (p/n: 21367n) or engine guards from givi/kappa(https://www.givi.it/my-motorcycle/product/honda/cb-650-r-24--26/optionals/tn1208) but I don't know if it fits a 2023 model

If anyone has tried or has any experience with any of the above mentioned solutions I would really appreciate the info.
