Well ... I kind of doubt it
The 1,000 cc bikes are pulling around 160 HP and around 75 lb/ft of torque - and they only weigh about 500 lbs. There has been talk of limiters, but all bikes are customized (in my experience anyway). Every rider know a customizer, it would be trivial to take off a limiter/reflash or do whatever.
Also, its been years since I looked (so the stat might be off a little) ... but 80% of motorcycle deaths are first year riders, and half of those are in corners. Other than killing themselves they don't usually tend to do much property damage. So its kind of like interfering with bungee jumping, stunt flying, parachuting, jet ski's, mountain climbing, or any of the other hobbies people kill themselves with
