Gents (and ladies):
I was involved in an accident on the above referenced bike in August 2021. I was injured quite badly (although i have made largely a full recovery) and didn't have the chance to properly manage the disposition of the bike before the winter set in. Does anyone have any advice on how to manage the final disposition of the bike? Every cosmetic part is scratched/needs repainting but the core pieces of the bike are largely intact since I went off the road into a grassy field, followed by a slide at low speed onto asphalt. I sincerely doubt the bike can be repaired because of the sheer amount of parts replacement that I do not have the time or inclination to do. The bike had about 4500 miles on it when I had the accident.
I would be grateful for any advice on getting this out of my lake house garage and into the hands of a person who would like to part it out or just a place to dispose of it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance and knowledge.

First, glad you are healing!

Contact Beemer Boneyard. They may be interested. Or advertise it online for sale as a parts bike. I assume the bike now has a salvage title. A rough location would be helpful for us to provide more information.
Get good pictures - if you have the inclination to tinker, consider parting it out yourself and selling the pieces.

I had an oops on my new 2018. Did almost 10K in damage. Insurance paid for it and had it fixed. Good so far.

If you can, get someone to do an estimate on what it will cost to fix and see if it's more than 50% of current sale value if it was undamaged. If so, an insurance company would write it off as a loss. If it's lower than 50%, you could let insurance fix it or fix it yourself.

Are you not going through your insurance?
