Default Katana 750 weird engine revolution problem

I just bought a Katana 750 2000. This is my first bike so i'm a neebie
When i'm hard on the throttle something weird happen at around 9000RPM... the engine goes from 9000 to the redline very quickly with no torque apply on the rear wheel. Just like if my tire is spinning on ice or if i'm pressing the clutch...
This happen in every gears... and only when i'm hard on the gas. If i accelerate smootly everything is fine!!

Did anyone had the same problem? Is this normal? is there something's wrong with my clutch or anything else?

Thanks!
