Sorry to hear about your accident, and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. A woman in an SUV rear ended me at while I was stopped at a stop light in broad daylight last year, so I have a good idea how you feel.
A couple of suggestions: From my experience, I prefer to use a dealership that has a Honda Certified Mechanic for any warranty and/or repair issues. On the Honda web site you can look up all dealers in your area, and each dealer listing will show whether or not they have a Honda Certified Mechanic in house or not. Best guess from info provided, is that the bike probably is not totaled, and odds are it can be put back to new condition
Another member asked what kind of boots you were wearing. Armored motorcycle specific boots may or may not have saved you from injury, or reduced the extent of the injury. That said, feet and ankles are pretty vulnerable, so the investment in armored CE rated boots might be worth considering if you do not already have them.
I always carry my cell phone with me when I ride. Aside from being able to call 911 in the event of an accident or break down, I can take pictures. I the event of an accident, photo damage to all vehicles, license plate numbers, the other driver, insurance cards, DLs, the accident scene, etc. etc.. Pictures come in real handy later on if there is a dispute.
