This is a really excellent way to manage packages in a system, I ran lots of systems a long time ago this way because of Dan Bernstein https://cr.yp.to/slashpackage/management.html
A high-side requires chopping the throttle, maintaining lean angle and speed let the bike slide around the outside, and it won't regain traction until the rear is back in line. You can watch the pros drift corners all the time like that.
At least it still leans the right way! I think a big part of their pitch was fuel efficiency too, in theory you can get the weight pretty low, although you'll still be in goldwing territory. Also, hard luggage helps a bit on the bike too, but I still spend all winter getting dressed.
