Unless the bike is already in mid-air, it shouldn't be too much of a problem
I wonder about the effect on the window glass from a few high-low speed cycles?

"The Insight Vehicle Sign System gives the leaner or newly qualified driver extra confidence that they are visible and given due consideration by other road-users."
