A little perplexed and curious.

Do you think we might be victim of a bad batch of emax tyres

Never had that problem with the DS.

...no. it was all my fault...too quick...braking at the wrong time into the corner a bit too hard and bingo....sliding..just for long enuff too make me stop breathing, then it was all good again.
Had the tyre been a problem i would have been sitting on the road. The tyre did all i was expecting it should.
I just love these bikes! You can flick them around when you need to and they respond well.

You weren't trying hard enough - I managed. It's so much easier on powdered desiccated sheep poo.

If you need practice - Slide School | Royal Enfield

We may have a slight difference in the interpretation of the word "flick".

The busa was 50 to 100m ahead and as I cut through the apex my peg feelers were dragging at about 100kmh and I shifted to fourth and opened the throttle to close the gap.

You were at the Apex and correct me if I am wrong you downshifted to fourth and opened the throttle?
most possible cause of losing traction was your engine speed when you downshifted and opened the big boy up, higher revs faster turning rear wheel, in a lean angle makes the old arse pucker does it not
engine speed did not match road speed, as the great Jackie Stewart said never get back on the throttle coming out of a turn until you know you will not let it off
Last but not least slowdown and enter the turn with a speed that will let you increase throughout the turn---a smooth steady rider will outperform a fast erratic rider any day(not saying you are a bad rider)

Nailed it Scotsman!
