Never was much for seeing how fast I could take a curve and dragging foot pegs, myself. I'd imagine on hot soft asphalt it could get real sporty real quick, too. Always seemed like it's just begging for one of those 'not if, but when' things to happen.
As always, YMMV.
Always easy to benchrace, but it looked like that guy was suffering from target fixation or maybe lack thereof. The bike of course will go where you are looking, or try to.
Looks like after nearly losing it the guy was sorta rattled and thinking “oh crap, I’m about to run off the road”, and did, right where he was looking. If he had looked where he wanted to go he might have got there. JMHO.
Those videos are taken on Mulholland Drive in southern California at a decreasing radius turn. It's a big motorcycling draw and lots of bikes crash there.
The guy who makes the videos has a whole series of crashes from there on youtube.
