It may not be photoshopped, but.... it does raise my curiosity. Now I'm not a professional photographer, but I like to think I'm a decent amateur one.

The camera man has to be using his "motion" setting on the camera to make the bike nice and clear, as if standing still. Well, then why is the background blurry?

 

I've ridden with a guy that has a 127" motor in his Road Glide and he can make that pig stand straight up whenever he wants.

 

Tracking the bike with the camera, slow down the shutter and you'll get a blurred background.

 

A hugh +1 on this.

 

ive never even the front tire on my sporty off the ground

 

If you have never seen Bubba Blackwell, he does it all the time with his Bagger. I have seen him do it.

 

The technique is called panning.. I'm an ammy pitcher taker too.. and I have lots practice panning. I've shot a lot of airshows, nascar racing and police dog training among other things, so.. if you use a moderate shutter speeds ( sometimes you need to use faster shutter speeds too... just depends on what the subject is and the level of detail you want.. ) and pan or tack the subject.. you get just what that pic has.. subject in focus and blurred background.. another hint is to use a higher f stop.. that can help you keep the subject in focus via depth of field while the background still blurs due to camera movement.
