I think ya gotta ask yourself why you needed to "flick" and how that flick is gonna get you out of trouble when you go around a corner at 140+ and it is covered with dirt and dbri from a landslide or a big rig is jackknifed across the lanes or ... ice has formed or whatever. I can see where "flick" ability would be an asset on the track to avoid trouble.
Not a problem in Holland, there aren't any hills so a landslide would be kinda apocalyptic and all the roads are straight. And taking any corner on the road at 140+ is a daft idea at the best of times. If ya can't see round the bend you shouldn't be doing silly speeds.
The "flick" is needed when you're calming motoring down a straight road minding your own business when a avacado in a metal box pulls out from a side road. A R6 will do it well. A Hog or a Hayabusa will slam into the back of him. And incidentally, how does riding a big arsed fast bike help in the situation you describe?
Fastest I've ever been on the road was 155mph......at 1am on a sunday morning in August up an empty 6 lane highway, well, empty except for the Ferrari who wanted a race, but he was behind me and doesn't count.
