Was said tank slapping controllable if you were to keep throttling with the right amount of grip on the bars? ...if that makes sense? Or was it a case of "sod this" and shutting off the gas and scrubbing off the speed?
I've had the beginnings of a TS on a few bikes over the years and mostly they ended up relating to uneven weight distribution, like a topbox or tyre wear.
This sounds like something else though, very odd.
Maybe the 07 just needs uprated suspension before ringing it's neck whilst doing anything other than straight line action?

Cats eyes, whilst banked over at over a ton.....yeah, they might do it, lol.
Find another private road and try it again, this time sans the cats eyes.

Rev limiter? Maybe.
Let's be honest, the 07's more about sub ton fun....isn't it?
It's why I've ordered one.

That call from the dealer to say my bike's ready to collect can't come soon enough.
Enjoy and stay safe on those private roads.
