If that was a z1000, first gear is about 65 mph. He might have just got out of 2nd gear at 90 or so. Rake is 24.5 deg on recent z1000 bikes, not something I would call overly agressive. But he doesn't necessarily have to be lying. Top of 2nd makes for a really light front on the Z and combined with the bumpy road a tank slapper could happen just as easily as a sloppy wheelie put down.
