just because you have never seen it doesn't mean it can't or hasn't happened.

You should go read the cold cranking amp chart on this page. At 10 volts your motorcycle battery is producing 100 amps, 100 amps is enough to fry all the electronics on a bike except the starting circuit.

Probably the reason the battery's dead in the first place is the electronics are shorted.
