Big bang whilst travelling at about 80km/l, engine was at operating temperature and not under any abnormal stress. Immediately pulled in the clutch and stopped. The motor spins but  there is practically no compression.  I'm not a mechanical engineer, to me it could possibly be conrod failure or valve gear failure. If I push the bike in gear, there is some compression felt What is obvious though, the motor will have to be opened up for inspection. Bike has 30k odd km on the clock and has a full service history with the Honda agents. Any ideas please?
