Keep in mind that your biggest hazard on the street is the person that is going to try to get you mostly true but most causes of sport bike crashes is the operator due to speed. They will have all sorts of excuses, but unless you can avoid them, the excuses aren`t worth much.
planning on taking a course in defensive driving with the bike
Oh yeah, one other thing. Going down in the dirt is a lot easier on the bike and the body than going down on the street. I rode dirt bikes for years, but was at least 45 before I ever owned a street bike. Agreed 100% and i know that i will go down on the bike sometime it happens to everybody but i can lessen it if i drive accordingly
