The concern is with the front tire. Acceleration transfers the load off the front tire. That allows it to keep it's grip. The back won't slip unless it's overloaded, or over braked.

And with aerodynamics. Without a fairing over the front tire and wheel, at a little over 160mph, sufficient lift is generated by the front rim to raise the front wheel off the ground, eliminating steering control, and can raise the front end enough for the airflow to continue raising the front end up until a 160mph endover occurs. They found that out back in the 1940s at Bonneville, but there are still folks rediscovering it on the streets with their new rice rockets every day. Usually only once.
