If you're asking what the insurance company's decision would be, I'd say it's a goner. They will look up what a used bike like yours is going for & that's what they'll pay.
Hope I'm wrong, good luck!

It’s a bummer but i’m ok at least. Bikes around 12k new so i’ve heard differing opinions but guess i’ll have to wait and see.

Take a look at the neck and steering stops and around your foot peg mounts for any cracks in the paint indicating frame bending or stress. Very easy way for me to quickly total a bike when I wrote estimates.
Otherwise its a cost to at to repair v. replace. Example, If your bike is worth $12k and the salvage value is likely about 50% for scraped up Harley’s, so the estimate would need to be around $6k to total out.

laws have changed largely to liabilities so an insurance company will follow what protects them, they are also driven to make money at your loss.
i bought a brand new 1974 xlch, i even helped assy it at the dealer, in sept. 1974.
jan 1975 i took the front end off a 1972 chevy impala, yep, steel bumpers back then.
the frame was bent but the cast steel neck piece was intact. i took the machine and the pay-off.
threw the frame on a steel table and welded in stops, using heat sticks for temp control. i straightened the frame, still kicking today with 180,000 miles. the FSM had all the measurements. the only thing that will tell it was wrecked is the right foot peg stub is slightly bent and a small gouge on the cam cover.
so, all-n-all, paid 500 dollars for the 2500 dollar machine. what helped here was i knew the hd dealer was crooked and would total the machine so he could profit.
i wish i had cell phone with camera to capture his face when i arrived to load it on a trailer.

Wrecked my bike yesterday bringing it over to my new house on a dirt road, had a feeling i would and guess who was right... anyways it’s messed up pretty bad in places and not much in others but the frame is scratched/dinged and wasn’t sure what happens next. Pics below
I dunno man, this might be a marvelous opportunity if they rule in favor of repair! They'll just cut you an enormous check. That's what they did with me, anyways.
I simply took that check, fixed what NEEDED to be fixed to keep the bike safe, operational, and looking halfway decent, and pocketed the rest. Actually, it went to Uncle Sam for tax reasons, but nonetheless!!
