Performance is safety in some situations.

I guess you could equate performance with safety. I got my M endorsement on a Kawasaki 125 Eliminator and had no problems as long as I stayed off the Interstate.

Got my drivers license in a 59 Volkswagen, made the 125 Kawa look like a rocket ship except for top speed which was pretty close.
I live and ride in the Hampton Roads Va area which has traffic as bad or worse than probably 98% of the country.
