It would seem that all the oil has gone through the oil pump and into the crank cases. Put a large bowl under the engine and take out the drain plug, and you'll get your oil back!

What was the last thing you did mechanically to the bike prior to this problem? If you have run it out of oil (and you say there is no oil in the tank) I would suggest lifting the cylinder head and maybe the barrel to see what is going on in there.
