IMO SS bikes get inexperienced riders over their heads, before they realize it. Non Sports bikes tend to give lots of feedback as you go faster, my bike goes 100+ and it's not working hard.
It's like going to the beach while you're learning to swim, If the bottom slowly gets deeper it's not to bad, on the other hand you're definately not as safe if 30 feet from the shore in 3' of water the seafloor drops to 100'. You can suddenly find yourself in trouble, and not have the ingrained skills to get you out of it.
