Sorry, but it is more an issue of having a chain guard or not, so it's a bike issue.
I hadn't a derailed chain on my bike too. But every bike I owned had a chain guard. So rethink if any of your bikes had no chain guard. Your IT465 had one for example. A Katana 1100 doesn't need one. It's a road bike. IMHO a chain guard is compulsory for a trail bike. That's why most of them have one.
