Is it very dangerous to get a puncture on a motorcycle?

on a rear, not really.

on a front, VERY. my VFR was crashed by the PO after he got a puncture on the front tire.

If you have tubes, and it doesn’t hit the tube, it’s fine. If it’s tubeless (most bikes nowadays are tube less besides dirt bikes) then it’s a sign that you’re about to have a bad day

Do they make runflats for sport bikes? I had them on my R1150RT. It was a nice bit of piece of mind.

I was just running to and from work and not breaking down was my main goal.  They worked well enough.

I don’t even want to imagine the series of events after a front tire puncture

Yipes! I had basically the same thing happen on my truck once. That was scary enough. On a bike? That's terrifying!
