Hi and glad to hear your alright, in my opinion you shouldn't have much contact with the other motorist, if you were treated at the scene you don't need to worry about the driver suggesting you wanted to leave,( its also common to do so when in shock), as others have suggested its time speak to a solicitor and try to get on paper from the bike shop who checked your bike, what the resulting damage is, good luck.
Ps. you should pursue this with the intention of a new bike or of the value of your bike don't listen to the driver saying they have incurred costs because his insurance will cover his damage and yours, if as you said they were turning and you were travelling straight on they will be deemed responsible reguardless of the lights changing, I can't see his insurance company fighting this its cheaper for them to just pay you, you should give the witnesses details to your solicitor or write to them yourself and give their response to the solicitor,
