You know, it's actually safer to ride a motorbike at high speeds... well, not too high, obviously.

If you're going too slow, then the tyres don't warm up and you can't get the cornering (much like a Formula 1 car - the tyres are made of a rubber that gets stickier as it warms up, giving greater grip in the corners), and you're much more likely to tip and fall off.

Granted, go too fast and the bike will quite literally fly from underneath you. Some of the more powerful bikes, when you accelerate from a standing start, will throw you off backwards as the power goes to the back wheel and lifts the front wheel a good few feet off the ground. And if the bike has a competition clutch, well, you'd best tie yourself on.
