I agree. He should have matching overshoes.
Seriously, that position looks terrifying.
I took one look at that and thought how much I'd hate it. Is there any steering control at all?
I'd also be petrified of the rear wheel skipping on rough tarmac and starting a fishtail.
I've not hit 50mph yet (47.9mph is my max in flat Essex), but I stay firmly on the saddle, so equal weight goes on both wheels.
