My 748r always had tremendous engine braking, I was expecting you to say you lost it on the throttle not off it, as mine was very agressive on the throttle.

Yes, sort of. As I alluded to in the orginal description of the accident, the rearsets were not adjusted correctly. The gear lever was miles out and it made gear changing really awkward with the result that I went into the bend a gear higher than I should have.
DAMAGE UPDATE FROM MD (In addition to the damage already noted in my other posts)
Frame true and undamaged. Phew!
Ohlins forks true and undamaged apart from one caliper carrier on the fork bottom being slightly bent (can be remedied with a spacer). Phew!
Warped disc (1.2mm out - may have pre-exisited the accident)
Front wheel spindle bent.
Front wheel trueness to be assessed.
