Does it get really hot or what? Sounds kind of like when my friend was riding his bike and he didn't change gears often the bike got hot and just turned off till it cooled down.
Maybe you got something going on with the cooling system of the bike? We'll see what others have to say.

Vapor lock?? Bad coil?? Carbs loading up?? Clogged fuel filter??

These things have all happened on my vette since I've owned it so that's my guess.

Good luck and take short trips for a while.

The next time it dies you will have to pull a spark plug and see if it's firing. Then go from there.

I would probably lean towards the coil first because when a coil gets hot the resistance inside the coil will increase. This can cause a weak spark or it could possibly be making the coil short out completely.
