Tim that doesnt sound good, glad to here your mate is ok though.
Going by the damage you have listed and what you can see in your photos or rather what you cant see, I wouldnt be surprised if it was written off. It would only take the tank, forks or wheel in addition to be even slightly damaged for them to consider the bike not economical to repair.
Insurance companies tend to write off newish bikes rather than deal with complaints from clients about poor repair work.
Too even pull a bike half way down would mean massive amounts of labour that they are sometimes not willing to pay.
Put is this way I have seen similar bikes at the Auctions.
You might be ok about the listed rider side of things. Depending on the policy they only require regular riders listed.
Good luck with it all
