Battery is fried or the charging circuit isn't working properly (regulator/rectifier problem).

sounds like an earth leak, if you can disconnect the negative terminals and with a multimeter measure the voltage between the terminal and the neg lead there should be no voltage if there is then there will be a leak of sort.

Sounds very much like a dead battery to me, it could be an earth leak issue, but if you rode the bike for an hour and it didn't stop running then it sounds like the alternator is doing something at least or the bike would have stopped.

I would check the charging circuit is working or not.
If it is working then the battery is almost certainly the problem.
