Glad your injuries weren't more severe....health trumps money every time.
A couple of consideration on letting insurance fix it.
1. There might be more damage than you think.....forks twisted? My wife was recently hit and we could see no damage....body shop immediately saw miss alignment of bumper, etc....estimate over $1000.
2. Not they the CB's are holding their value, but someday a scratch might affect the re-sale value. I know that is the first thing I want to know. My GPz750 was put down in a gravel driveway by the 1st owner....took me a long time to see the handle bars weren't in alignment with the front wheel (fairing in the way helped hide it).
