sport bikes are only more dangerous when the rider makes them so. its kinda like saying going from a family station wagon to a rodded out sport compact is more dangerous based on the fact that sport compacts crash more. they’re not more dangerous unless you drive like a loon.

Of course, it’s a fact that (most) people buy sportbikes so they can ride in a sporting fashion, meaning fast. That certainly does increase the risks involved, both of collisions (due to reduced reaction time available, and increased risk of other drivers misjudging your speed and distance) and of losing it in a corner. And higher impact speeds when things do go bad.
