Max wrote "diagnose before repair is not a bad strategy", and this is (in this case, not always) a very important thought.
Falls in line with what I said, but takes it even further.
Take your time !
If it happened to me I'd keep riding, and see if I can find a cheap CB1100, may be one which lost a lot of value because
of a harmless front end accident (tank, wheels, forks damaged) but a perfectly good engine. This should be available
at 2000-3000$. Take engine out, preserve it (fluids !) and store it. Save a few other parts which may come handy one
day (ECU, seat, etc etc...).
