yes it does have a window to check the oil. if you are unable to check the oil on the machine your first step would be to go to the honda dealer and ask them to teach you the basics of the vehicle, which they will gladly do.

If you have NO oil in there like you say, then it's not a burning issue. There is no way you could burn off an entire liter of oil in 300 miles, and have the bike only feel a bit "odd.". It had to have leaked out somewhere.

DO NOT put automotive oil in your bike; it is not an automobile. You need to use a "4-stroke" oil, like Honda synthetic. A bike or boat shop would have this. FIgure out how to measure the oil level on your bike (There IS a way), determine how much is missing, and add it. then let it sit for a day and see if a puddle forms underneath it.

There IS a window and its how you check your oil. How could you know if you used any unless you can properly check it? Also make sure to hold the bike upright (or have someone hold it for you) or it will read low.

Yeah, we knew there was a window . The oil should NEVER be all the way up to the cap. Glad to here all is well.
