The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers several courses. One of the exercises is learning to control a rear wheel skid in a simulated panic stop. Assuming the front brake is effective the weight transfer is going to leave the rear tire very light. It doesn't take much to lock it up and have it move sideways. You get the same effect in four wheel vehicles but the braking systems usually are designed to minimize the problem. After a camping trip in Vermont's Green Mountains I got back to the trail head, threw my stuff in the pickup rapidly since it was raining, and headed off down the road. In my absence a porcupine had chewed through a front brake hose and a heater hose. The first thing I noticed was the rear brakes on a F150 don't do much to slow you down. Then the steam started. I could fix the cooling system but getting down the mountain with minimal brakes was fun.
