Bike took a tumble while I was in Halfords
#4
Mirrors, bar end, exhaust, footpegs, hand and foot levers usually hit first.  Often an engine cover and indicator.  Your fairing may have hit.  Any topbox?

Things to look out for:
- bent levers
- bent bars (the std ones are made of cheese)
- bent bars hitting the tank
- lockstops crushed so the bars turn a bit further than normal (not a big issue unless combined with the previous point)
- forks twisted in the yoke.
- bent exhaust mount / footpeg hanger

To be honest a drop off the stand isn't  all that bad, usually it is cosmetic rather than any mechanical issues.  The cosmetic stuff can be really expensive though.
