Despite the damage, the engine runs fine.
This is the reason that I have a set of the Over engine protectors waiting before even my new CB 1100 arrives. That is also the first thing I put on any new bike.

I can vouch for the crash worthiness of the Over guards. When a deer put my bike down on it's left side, I was amazed at how well they worked. Not a scratch on anything behind the turn signal. First thing I did when I got home was to order a new set.

It looks as though it was a low-speed hit from behind and shunted into a piece of street furniture, a low wall or something - it didn't fall over.
When I get home, I'll take some proper photos, and then show you the work in progress
Yes, Houtman, a very good idea and they're on my list! I had them on my CB750 back in '72 - they were quite a new thing then, I remember.
That's a shame.
I seem to remember a poster here from a few years ago that crashed his CB on the way home from buying it. I can't imagine how bad I'd feel if that happened to me.
