if its a new battery then you need to replace your alternator. It basically recharges your battery while the vehicle is running.
Why new battery and alternator won't hold a charge when car is running?
The alternator does not hold a charge. It charges the battery. If it will not charge the battery then either the alternator is defective, battery is defective, or the connections are corroded or loose. You should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery with the engine idling. Check it with a DC volt meter. If you get less the alternator is defective. If you get much more the voltage regulator is defective.
If a battery does not hold a charge in a motorcycle What can it be?
First, make sure the battery is good. Check it with a volt meter, with engine off you must have a little more than 12 volts. With engine running at idle you will have around 13 volts, and at say 2000 rpm you should have anywhere from 13.8 to 14.5 volts. If when the engine is running and all is good, then replace the battery, if the charge is still at only 12 volts when the engine is running, then it would be the stator. That's the charging system. Now, just depends what make of bike.
