If you ran the engine for a few minutes after adding engine oil, you certainly didn't burn much oil, especially with a new motorcycle. Therefore, if you don't have an oil leak, you didn't add enough oil.

I suggest you add oil to the appropriate level in the sight glass tomorrow morning. Then run the engine for about three minutes. After stopping the engine, wait about three minutes for the oil to settle. Check the oil sight glass, and repeat the procedure, if necessary, until the oil returns to the proper level in the sight glass.

Emergency terminated. It was a measuring error on my part. Nothing to see here. Move along...move along.
