I was literally just in this situation yesterday with my Honda CRF250L. I should have snapped a picture but it was quickly getting dark. Laying it over to break the suction on the wheels is indeed the go.
I had something similar happen decades ago with my kick-start DR650. It had DOT knobbies on, but the mud was similar to that in the picture.
I was riding solo, eventually gave up on getting it out and walked 10km back to the nearest house. Called a buddy, and we eventually got it out in the wee hours of the morning. Lesson learned.
I've got a V85 Adventure now, but it doesn't see anything more challenging than a grid road.
