Even if you crash at 150 mph, the force at which they hit the ground will be 
the same, barring any circumstances where the bike is hurled at the ground, 
e.g., high-side.

At the same time, if the slider were to snag on something at 150 mph, I 
would imagine that the forces involved could seriously damage the motor 
mount, or worse. But that is what insurance is for.
