Depends on the bike, the gear the bike is in, and the speed. A 250 will restart the engine pretty much instantaneously once the rear wheel gains speed again, as there is so little mass in the engine. A big inline-4 with high compression takes quite a bit more energy to get spinning, so if you're in a high gear and the road speed is coming down, the rear wheel may never regain enough traction to spin the engine fast enough to restart smoothly before the bike comes to a stop. Slipper clutches affect this behavior as well, letting the rear wheel spin faster than the engine, and therefore not bringing the engine up to speed fast enough to restart.
