So, basically I think your asking for a high security padlock, with hardened case/materials.
You will be hard pressed to find anything at the same "grade" as your chain. You will however, find something that will work well.
Hope this helps, and I am sure someone else will come along and offer you some actual lock advice, as I am not in the UK.

First off it's important you understand if someone wants your motorcycle they are going to take it. There is really no point in spending tons of money on a lock and chain. All they do it keep honest people away. The bad guys will get it no matter what lock you are using.

It's true, but IMO, if the bad guy want A motorbike (even if he is hard to please and want that particular model  ), he will probably look for the easiest to take. So looking for a good chain and lock might be useful. I do not apply this logic for myself, but I understand it.

You best bet might be on eBay for padlocks called "Ingersoll".
They are probably the closest to your chain, unless you are prepared to pay VERY serious money, say perhaps £400+ for a padlock.
Hope this helps a bit?

Well I don't know the specific padlock that Engineer had in mind, but the Sargent and Greenleaf 833c (I think that's the right model) is by far the most hardcore padlock I have seen. Added bonus: you can brag you use the same lock as the US Army/DOD/Gov't/etc.  Hope that helped. Cheers, -XIII

TTXIII you got it spot on!
That price was for a "cheap" second-hand one, new they can be nearly double that.

It was the Sargent and Greenleaf 833c But I´m not sure if a chain with 19mm can be used with this padlock, and is really a lot of money. Thanks all, helped me a lot. I promise If I buy one, I will put the photos here

I noticed the body of the lock also say "Ingersoll" on it, for a (relatively unknown outside the UK) British company, they have had some impressive effects on the lock industry worldwide.
Don't forget the locks most impressive claim to fame, it's proof against liquid nitrogen attack as well.
