Thats pretty unlucky. Sad

As for fairing, you'll be looking at around £800 if you were to buy brand new from an aprilia dealer.

Best bet is eBay. RS parts, especially fairing are very common on there. May have some scratches on but better than nothing.

Also might be worth trying a few breakers yards, check Cheshire Motorcycle Salvage as you can see their stock online.

Could you not just get your own fairing repaired? After I had a spill on my old RS, the right fairing was quite mangled, but it was plastic welded back to a pretty good state! Only cost £10 too. Look into it, ask at some bodywork repair shops.

Get some crash bungs too - R&G bungs for RS125 - they're quite pricey, but may help save damage in a similar incident.
