Actually I had a similar experience, may not be the same reason as yours though.

Me and motorbyclist went for a ride up to Shelly Beach a few weeks back. I had been feeling sick a few days prior but that morning I was fine. We got to Shelly Beach (the twisties were great and learner friendly) and had fush and chups. Walked it off then went to leave. As I was putting my helmet on I felt a tad unbalanced and lightheaded but we left anyway. A short while later we caught up to a tour bus that was going a bit slow. My FXR wasn't powerful enough to overtake, so we stuck behind them. Then the lightheadedness really kicked in. I was feeling really unbalanced and kept zoning out. I let motorbyclist overtake and pulled over to the side. I had to rest my helmet on my tank to recuperate. I had to pull over a number of times on the way back to his place. When we got back I slept for four hours lol.

I didn't realise they made a bike that was incapable of passing a tour bus.

No wonder you were exhausted, I bet the bugger wasn't even running.

Do check those tyre pressures. I wondered why my bike was handling like shit until I discovered my front tyre only had 12 psi in it! Not sure what happened but I check them frequently. It sure made the bike handle weird especially making it freel unbalanced.
If not you may have had an anxiety attack.

Great little ride that one.
