I feel your pain...had mine tip over under similar circumstances.
Only damage is a broken right footpeg, and a very small scratch on the exhaust can and clutch lever. My heart was in my throat but I felt better after I saw how minimal the damage was.
Anybody know where to get rearsets ?
I might as well get a set since I have to replace the right-side footpeg.

Bummer, but you know it wouldn't have blown over if you would have been riding the ZX10 like you should have been. Save the pool for days when the weather is too chitty to ride.

dang the wind here gets hella bad, but i have never heard of a parked bike being blown over by strong winds...my 12, granted it is heavier, sits just fine in some bad winds, side ones too....
good luck with that, sorry to hear the bad news...
