ECU/Fuel issues on full throttle

I've been having a blast on the bike however have had one problem that has occurred three times now:
Always over 100km/h first time at about 170, twice at 130
Always on 100% throttle
Over half a tank of fuel
Running in 5th gear
While riding spiritedly, hours into the day with everything warm and running fine the bike cuts out for a moment, maybe a quarter of a second then runs fine again.
It's abrupt enough to find myself riding the tank and looking at the front tyre and is quite disconcerting. The first time I thought it was a speed limiter st 175 kmh but then it happened again at 130kmh about a month ago, I then decided the culprit was fuel as both times I was running 95ron out of necessity as opposed to the 98ron I usually run.
But on the weekend it cut out again at 130 running on abouts its 5th in a row tank of 98ron.
The tenere was carefully run in over 2000km even with the dealer insisting how unnecessary it was. I also did an overnight battery disconnect, followed by 15 minute cold idle after the first two tanks of 98ron.
Haven't checked the fuel filter yet but I don't expect to find anything? Any suggestions? Hard to pinpoint anything given the prerequisite conditions for the fault!
