That's understandable. I've had outboard motors get dunked under water while running, motorcycles running on their side like yours, a motorcycle that had a problem with its oil pickup and sucked air for at least a minute before I decided something must be wrong and found the problem, and probably other stupid engine abuses, and there was no permanent damage to any of them. I predict you'll find that your engine is OK.

Running under heavy load without oil, or running without cooling long enough to seize is another matter.
