You use a fastish shutter speed, but you pan the camera to follow the bike - this makes the background blur and increases the feeling of speed. You don't want the shutter speed TOO fast, or it makes it difficult to pan & get that b/g blur.

Edit: If you look at the EXIF data, this was shot at 1/60 sec, so most of the blur is from panning & the rider is sharp because the camera is moved with them.
