Default New bike problem

I just got a "new" used bike and I just put 16 kms on it when I notice that the engine was sounding rough. The dealer that sold me the bike told me that a full service was done of the bike before delivery but to my surprise, the oil window shows no oil at all (below low) either they forgot to add oil in after service or the engine is burning it (no smell though). The oil meter hasn't flashed on the dash.

Is this engine done?
how much oil can I expect a bike to burn under normal usage?

please help
