I'm not saying they can't pull off the ground, this particular photo doesn't look legit to me.
I'm sure he'd be doing the wheelie from a dead stop and the blurry background would make it seem he was going alot faster unless it was a tighter shot and obviously its not a tight shot getting the entire bike and a ton of background in the shot.. I could be wrong though

I've seen a number of baggers doing wheelies. Yes it can be done, and when they come down they just compress the suspension... It's done, believe me. Roll on over to Sturgis in a couple of weeks, and come to the drag strip. It's likely you'll get to see it in person.

Doubt it's photo shopped. I've personally seen a lot baggers doing wheelies.
I haven't been there is a few years, but I used to go to Neptunes Net in Malibu California, a weekend biker hangout. Some of the guys as they take off will do a wheelie. They look pretty good when they do.
