Ok so i was heading home on the N1 on Wednesday night.
I was late so i doing about 140kph
I was very consistent with the throttle
Next thing I had a distinct lack of thrust.
The chain had about 15 000kms on it if that.
Was a 'Primary Drive' chain
I was not able to recover the chain so i don't know if it popped the master link or snapped.

No noise clunk clatter or missing pieces from bike or me.
