My opinion is that Sports bikes are a danger because they will take a new rider far past their ability before the rider realizes it. And when you're over your head you better know what to do without thinking, that's what time on a bike gets you.
I have an analogy, imagine taking a child to the beach, and maybe they can sort of swim. Say you have 2 choices for a beach, one where the water slowly gets deeper, and is maybe 5' deep 100'+ from shore, or one where it's a shallow 2-3' out about 30' then drops off to 100' deep.
This is your child, which beach would you go to?
