What to do???

I have a Honda CBR125R sitting on my driveway which is a Cat C write off. I have no means of getting it to a dealer/mechanic.
I've not seen the report of what's exactly wrong with it, but from a clearly prima facie view, the front tyre is burst, the fairing at the front is hanging off. There doesn't *appear* much else wrong with it.

What shall I do with it?

Front tyres do not "burst", balloons burst.

I'd suggest that you get yourself a manual and some tools, maybe some help from a few mates and fix it up, then sell it if you don't want to keep it Thumbs Up

Take the fairings off and ride it without them for now. Cable ties and duct tape are your friends.

Take the front wheel off and bring it to a bike shop, £20-£30 for a new tyre and about a fiver to have it fitted.

Check the forks aren't bent. Sometimes they can be straightened out (if they're just not lined up properly in the yoke), sometimes you'll need new ones. Can't see them costing that much on a Honda though. Or if you're lucky, they'll be fine.

Then ride it.
