You probably just dialed up the power a bit and out she came, hit a slippery spot. Torque is deceptive on this bike. These days, chemical adhesion is replacing mechanical adhesion with respect to rubber compounds so the old fingernail test doesn't really work any more. Stock tires are very grippy, either Dunlop or Bridgestone. PR2's are good tires, no worries there.
Decent rubber and clean pavement this bike is not going to step out under power unless you are dialing it up at high lean angles, but hit a bit of sand, water, oil, and it's going to be instantaneous, the bike is heavy. So, easy on the throttle when it looks suspicious.
