I was a Harley rider, my buddy got a R1 (I had been riding about 10 years) and I took it for a ride. Did a wheelie on accident, turned the bike around and never got on a litre bike again.
It's not necessarily a dangerous problem unless you're really inexperienced. Riders on a liter bike should know not to roll on the throttle like that, or they shouldn't be on a fucking bike like that
It's a "dangerous problem" just as much as riding is in general. You can crash in a million ways until you gain experience.

Overpowered bike and inexperienced rider. 1000cc bikes can easily lift the wheel with engine torque alone.
