Not all parts are identical. The brake caliper and one of the bearings (sorry, I can't remember which) have previously been identified as being different on a Jianshe JS125-6A versus a YBR.
But it depends on this exact bike, which we haven't yet seen, and the damage, which we haven't had described. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I could probably make a mosaic of it in Photo-Shop, or if I had the actual metal, maybe a bar stool, I dont know... What would you like any of us to make of it?
Is that pic pre-crash or post crash?
It's missing a side-panel. Cant see the fairing... looks to be there, but pointing away from the camera.
So WHAT needs dong to make the thing 'work'?
If all that is wrong with it is the missing side panel, which you have erroneously thought to be a 'fairning' (more usually used to describe the wind-deflecting body-work at the front of the bike like around the headlamp).... [shrug] get on and ride the thing! Its hardly critical to operation!
If you want to bleat o about whether or ot its a 'genuine' YBR or not; It says Yamaha on the side clearly enough, and it definitely has a carburetor; so it is a Yamaha YBR125... JUST not an official Matsui Yamaha UK imported example, but a variant built in the same factory with slight differences for 'other markets', which may be sold in this country by other vendors under a different brand name.
YES you probably paid more than you needed to for it; Yes, it probably isn't exactly what you thought it was... But, you bought it, you have been riding it, and you have, at this point in time crashed it. You can hardly take it back to the shop and start demanding a refund!!!
So WHAT is the problem;; DOES the thing even NEED 'fixing'? Or what 'help' would you like us to offer? ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

It makes odds on how much money it's worth spending on it to sort it, depending on how much it's likely to be worth at resale.
OP may also have had a case against the dealer, but (even though they got royally mugged off) I wouldn't be hopeful. DVLA have dubbed it a YBR, and as we know, DVLA are infallible. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Not really.. it is not and was not and never will be a UK Spec, 'official import' Yamaha YBR125.
It is what it is, and always has been.
How much it is worth now {damaged}, how much it may cost to fix, and how much it might sell for after repair, HASN'T really changed, 'just' because the girl has crashed it, or discovered it's not 'exactly' what she thought it was before she crashed it.

We know that they are all built in China, in a factory that is a Yamaha subsidiary, and it says Yamaha on the tank, it says Yamaha on the engine cases; it is "Branded" as a Yamaha. What WE have spotted is that it's got a carburettor, it's not a Yamaha Branded motorcycle, imported by Yamaha's UK 'Official' UK Importer, Matsui; but an 'other market' variant, Yamaha Branded motorcycle, imported by someone else, but it is STILL a Yamaha YBR125.
How much the bike was worth when she bought it.... what SHE was prepared to pay for it! what it's worth when she comes to sell it? whatever anyone ELSE is prepared to pay for it!
How much more she might have spent than she needed, or how much she may 'loose', or might have lost had she come to sell it without crashing it? Is all fairly speculative really.
Recourse to the dealer? Dealer MAY have been totally upfront and honest about that when he sold it; "It's Yamaha YBR125, 'import', its got a carburetor rather than fuel injection, but that's better as you don't need a computer to service it" Word 'Import' tagged on the end may be open to a little ambiguity.. "But its Japanese, they all have to be imported, don't they?" But at some point the seller has to take some responsibility for doing their own research, and making sure they are happy with the 'deal'.
Which she obviously was, right up until she CRASHED the thing!
Only THEN she started doing her research to find out what she had really bought! Or asked us to tell her!
As far as I'm concerned, its all split milk not worth crying over. She bought a bike. She crashed bike. She needs to fix bike.
Bigger mystery here, is WHY fixing the thing is HER problem?
If, as she claimed a car driver drove into her, implying car driver's fault, why is SHE scouring parts lists looking for the bits to fix it? why isn't it with an authorized repairer to be fixed at the car driver's insurance co's expense, whilst she toddles about on a courtesy bike? ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Well of course....but....
If i showed you a nice big chocolate Cake and told you it was £5, and you were willing to buy that cake, that Cake is worth £5.
Now I reveal I took a big Shit in the cake Mix before Baking, Still Worth a fiver?, no it's not....And yet it is still the same Cake (soft pop as Tefs Tiny mind blows) in all matters of non intrinsic value perception is Everything. and thats what Rog is getting at (I think)
Another Thing you're wrong about is what the real question is....It's why the fuck would you pay £1400 for a 2007 YBR. ____________________ 2001 Aprilia RSV Mille R -dead, 2016 XSR 700-gone, 2018 Dorsoduro 900 |

But most buyers won't know that, and you only need one starry eyed 17 year old to fork over their paper round money for it.
It's a convincing looking "Yamaha YBR", it says so in the right places on the bike and the V5C, it's going to be perceived as being worth pretty much as much as any other one.
Which is a lot less than OP paid for it, but that's just a regular mugging from a dealer, not anything particularly deceptive. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Hi All
It is a Yamaha, irrespective of what the OP thinks, or wants to believe. As has been said, probably a grey import, but, still a Yamaha YBR125 carb or not, it's still a Yamaha.
If that pic is anything to go by, there appears to be very little damage, and the parts to replace the damaged bits, as has already been said, are very easy to come by.
No matter what version of YBR125, grey import or not, it's still built in China, and, oh yeah, it's still a Yamaha.
Simple answer, stop bleating, patch/repair the damage and just ride it, as has been said before as well £1400 for a 9 year old 125, well, really?? That's where the problem lies, having said that, aside from the obvious damage, doesn't look in too bad condition at all for a 9 year old 125, of any make ... ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |
