Safety conscious motorbike insurance policyholders with Yamaha bikes can now take advantage of a new range of ultra-safe accessories.

The manufacturing firm has announced the launch of a new range of protective aprons designed to fit onto its most popular models.

The aprons are said to have been developed by the engineers and designers behind the vehicles themselves and have been tested using Yamaha's custom Stability System.

According to Yamaha, new features include water-resistant pockets, a tailored seat cover, easy key entrance and a soft, fleece-style inner lining, which provides insulation for the winter months.

Each product is reported to be designed for easy installation and usage, as well as durability.

The S-Line Scooter Apron is now available for models including the TMAK, X-Max 125/250 and Neo's 50 four-stroke models.
