My point of view is that, for Indian conditions a chain cover is a must. O-ring chains may be good but still it requires frequent cleaning although not too much lubrication.

Still, thinking of all matters, A Transparent Chain cover is Still Best ...
Regarding oil marks, we can clean them once a while ... can't we??---

As long as the chain is healthily greased after regular washing, there is no issue. Last night when I was in the RE brand store workshop, the service manager asked a mechanic to grease my bike's chain as it had been washed. So, I guess this is applicable even for the chains with the o-ring.Comment

guys, what prabhubravo told about the chain locking in closed chains is correct. It is for safety.
Also, the O-Rings are less noisy, built stronger and are maintenance free... better choice for high speed bikes.
Don't try to catch my neck there... maintenance free = they are pre-lubed and don't need lubrication throughout their life time. but then, we need some lubrication between the chain & the sprockets... and this is becoming a little painful.
Now, tell me something... you guys can see the open chain catch dirt so you are commenting like this... how many of you guys ever bothered to check your chain that is in its casing? How many times do you lube the chain between the services? do you know for a fact that the engine oil sprayed on the chain doesn't stay stuck to it for even 200 Kms or 3-4 days at the max?Comment

To my knowledge, the HH R&D is working on an "All red chain cover" theme.Originally posted by Samarth 619 View PostGuys, Fantastic Idea !!! How about a Transparent Plastic Chain Cover??

Jokes apart, how will a semi chain cover with chrome finish look? It will serve the purpose for gud looks, and also safety for the chain.

A transparent chain cover would remain transparent only for few hours after fitment
So it is a waste IMO.
Coming to the topic, i feel exposed chains are more of fashion than function.When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)
