You definitely have an increased risk of dropping the bike at a track day than you do on the street precisely because you are testing the limits of the bike and your skill on the track whereas you are, or should be, riding well inside of your limits on the street. Incidentally, you not need to experience 100% of your abilities to know what 70% feels like.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I can't afford to explore the absolute limits of my abilities on a bike for which I am still make payments. However, I also would not intentionally test my limits anywhere else but in the controlled environment of a track.
