Not true. There are zillions of roads in good enough condition for that. It happens every weekend all over the world.

Palomar Mountain in San Diego has finely ground up sea shells in the asphalt to provide good winter grip for the residents. So does Montezuma's Grade in Borrego Springs. It provides better grip than many race tracks I've been on. The tires will bite until you start tri-podding on your foot peg.

Tires are more of a limiting factor than the road surface. Law enforcement frowns on motorcyclists who run slicks on the street.

Besides there wear full suits with pucks specificly for that.
Don't you? You should if you are going 160+ and riding wheelies on a ZX10. No body armor = dumb.
