Showing off???
If you ride one, you'll understand that showing off gets you killed. What you're refering to is how the damned things RUN. When I had my Katana it wouldn't do less than 95. It's kinda like driving in 1st and 2nd... It just doesn't feel right and the damned thing gets all jumpy, hit the brakes lightly and it just stops where it is... they are hard to drive slow.
And with the sport / super-sport bikes (not so much the harley type bikes with their billboard sized saddlebags and obnoxiously loud exhaust) you HAVE to drive aggresively or you WILL be dead. I could stop faster from 100 mph than ANY car could from 35 or 40 mph... you want to be WAY ahead of the closest car behind you... trust me on that. You also want to be wearing the brightest, loudest clothing you can find... number one reason motorcycles get hit by a car is because the driver of the car didn't see them.
