ok good news - I cleaned out the air filter and carb yesterday - i didn't see anything major coming out of the air filter but when i drained the bottom of the air box you should have seen the amount of crap that came out - I don't think it had been done since I bought it and now all the backfire is gone! - I'm about to take it on a longer run now to see if she still dies at about 40mph but i'm feeling more confident that it won't since it's have a litre of oily-watery-gunk lighter than it was the last time.

Thanks a million for all the help as usual guys
I'll let you know if she's back to normal later on tonight

Thanks again
Vii

Took it out for a longer run and the loosing power issue seems to have gone - i replaced the fuel line just in case it was contributing to the problem - finally shes back on the road!

Sometimes it is the simplest bit of maintenance to get the bike going properly. Glad it worked out and wasn't more complicated.
