I've seen similar incidents with conventional swingarms in which the wheel jammed up at an angle within the swingarm and resulted in a pretty violent launch of the rider. Not as much an issue at that speed, but still.

FXbikes is an unknown quantity at this point

Wow, just wow. Looks as though 2 of those spokes on the hoop are torqued to a different degree than the others, or the other way around. Either way it looks a bit odd. May be a clue to why it sheared off. Certainly can't be good for OZ. Matter of fact they've had several wheel issues with OEM rims they made...Aprilia comes to mind.
