Bryan and dcb beat me too it, but...
on a motorcycle it does not affect the handling or braking in any way what so ever if the engine is off, and its easy to do since there is a built in kill switch and push button starter.

However!
They also have tiny little batteries, and if you try it in the city, where you are coasting to a complete stop and have to use the starter, you can kill it very quick. I learned this the hard way. Spent a few weeks running and jumping on to get it started until I got around to replacing the battery.
