Glad you're ok Phantom309, exactly same thing happened to me in Aug-13. Fortunately the driver behind the lady that ran into me was a witness for me & I got my (then) Swing repaired, plus claimed £350 for a new Crash Helmet & trousers.
Hope your insurance company get everything sorted quickly & without fuss and that your Burgman is returned to you in pre-accident condition in a reasonable timeframe.

Sorry to hear about your off.

As long as your OK (aside bruised & battered) walking wounded tell tales.

Speedy recovery

kit is fine as i was stationary at time . but new helmet got scratched , so that'll need replacing aswell....lol
scoot didn't do aswell. mirror scratched ,indcator took the impact an broke the lense, fairing sides an foot board all scratched ,exhaust and guards all scratched , rear mudguard split,lower rear cowl smashed upper rear cowl is raised up not sure why something has bent, rear light backing has cracked , hopefully won't take long to fix , as last time i got bumped off it took 6 months to sort out...
an as for me, aches an pains . but as very slow fall . i'll survive . ;)
