EDIT-The main thing is after tearing it down inspecting all the weld points on the frame and just doing an overall inspection of the frame to make sure there are no hair line cracks.

I took a bike in similar (but not QUITE as bad condition) condition F4i as yours, and brought it back from the dead. I put about 16k or so miles on it on the street, sold it BACK to Suwand28 on here, and he now uses it as his track bike.
Just from the pictures (which don't tell me nearly enough to give an acurate estimate), I'd charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000 to make the bike back to new. This would be using used parts.
For new parts, add $1k, at minimum.
From an insuarance standpoint, it's a total loss. Expect a shop to quote you somewhere around $5k+....assuming the frame isn't bent. If it is, it'd be cheaper to buy a new bike.
Sorry to hear about your wreck. Hope you heal up soon and get back up on two wheels.
edit: Any prices I quoted for what *I* would charge mean nothing. I don't want to bring any more crashed bikes from the dead for myself, or for profit. However, I'll give you a hand with your bike if you'd like. I know the F4i better than I know myself.
