Rebuild or sell?
Well I wasn't paying good enough attention to the road and came up on a corner that I wasn't expecting. Ended up going off the road and hitting a ditch. Here is what it looks like now.
2005 cbr600F4i
I think about every piece of plastic on it is broken and the forks are bentback. Not sure what all mechanical is messed up, I just know that the whole front end is pretty much smashed. How much would I end up spending to fix it?

RE: Rebuild or sell?
You pansys, it's not that bad. Look up the cost of a set of new/used forks, radiator, and the plastic is about the most expensive part you'll need to buy. The tank looks a little tweaked as well as the exhaust can so that might be another cost, I've ridden with a tank in much worse shape...<---see avatar.
I would put money that the rims and rotors are fine. Just don't leave a fork rest on the rotors if their touching, that will definatlly cause it to warp. Not sure if your the type that won't ride anything other than a sportbike, but you can always go naked! Just leave the front and sides off and get a headlight pod in it's place. Not the prettiest look, but the bike will still perform like your old F4i.

if you do the work yourself, problably $3k to make it like new, but you could probably ebay and buy used parts for most of it and have it back together for about $2k
I have rebuilt an F4i more than once, off the top of my head I would say:
upper new $500
headlight $300
sidefairing $300
exhaust $300
upper fairing stay$150
forks(used) $250
radiator ???
plus $500 for stuff unseen
