The thing that changes at high speed is that there is more wind resistance. The balance point is the same but you don't have to be at the balance point because the wind is helping to keep the front up.

also keep in mind that when your higher in the rpm's or power band its easier to just blip it a litttle to bring it back up.
I dont think its really that the balance point changes, you just have to be up higher in it going slow because you dont have that readily avail. high rpm poewr to keep it there
basically if your riding faster you can rely more on the power of the bike to keep it up. At slower speeds its all balance Make sense?
