The higher bars make it easier but it's perfectly do-able with clip-ons. My first experience day was on my faired SV650 but I converted it to an un-faired bike which made it easier but I didn't get on with the V-twin engine pulses and found the Fazer loads better. Others tried the SV and had no problems so it's more about what I'm comfortable with than anything. The Japanese say that you should fix the rider before you try to fix the bike but we all like to tinker and modify
The cbr in the original video will have quite a lot done to it e.g. higher bars, removed lock stops, shortened wheelbase, modified suspension, modified gearing. But, this is the top rider so you would expect some changes at the top of the sport.
There is a good video here showing the UK version.

Neil won this years championship on his Z750R but this video shows what can be achieved with a bit of practice on any bike.
