2023 R3 post crash

Hey guys. I recently went down on my R3. A little low side, luckily I was uninjured because it was low speed and I was in full leathers. Unfortunately, my bike went off the road and into a concrete and rock drainage ditch where it flipped I assume from the damages (I couldn’t see my bike while sliding and only saw it after it settled).

Now to the actual question. I’m not 100% familiar with what’s critically important on the bike and wondering if the bent portion of metal can simply be bent back to straight or if it’s a write off. I’m thinking I’ll take it into a shop to assess it since if this damage happened what else could have happened that I can’t see but wanted to try my luck here first.

Any tips or heads up appreciated since this is the first time i’ve wrecked (and trying to repair) a bike.

Scuff marks on R3 gas tank

I’m wondering what’s causing these marks. they seem to rub off with some force but they just keep coming back.
