Statistically, the vast majority of injuries and fatalities on motorcycles don't happen because some bubba truck overtakes someone on a 250CC and decides to run him over.
The vast majority happen because Shiela the 80 year old geriatric or Pablo who just entered this country and its his first time driving a car pulls out in front of a motorcyclist at an intersection.

Now, I know Bubba and his truck DOES squish motorcyclists because the retard tailgates literally every single thing he can to make up for his tiny penis. Most of the time a faster bike isn't going to be the thing that results in him squishing someone from his tailgating, bad application of brakes from the cyclist that causes him to high-side under Bubba's truck are the reason. So anything with good ABS should fix it.

I've been told before that even a KLR650 isn't good enough for exactly the reasons you list: It's not a superbike, it's an old carbureted shitbike that can maybe do 75 if you drop it out of a plane. It's still statistically far safer than any Harley on the road.
