The YBR125 certainly is still sold as I did my CBT on one yesterday which was registered 2011. Also very handy as it's the engine I'll be riding in the future.

We eagerly await your photos, Toby.
Are you buying your bike assembled from a dealer, or unassembled in a crate? If the bike is arriving in a crate, please take lots of photographs of the crate's arrival, and the assembly of the motorcycle.
Most Chinese motorcycles employ copies of old Honda engines, which are no longer being manufactured. I consider myself very fortunate my Zongshen 200GY-2 employs a well manufactured, faithful copy of the currently manufactured, Yamaha TW200 engine.
Up to this point I believed my Chinese motorcycle was unique in this regard. However, you are similarly fortunate, for your LSM 125 motorcycle also seems to employ a faithful copy of a currently manufactured, Yamaha engine.
I have now ridden almost 49,000 miles (80,000 kms) with my 196cc, Zongshen engine.
I am greatly comforted to know I can easily purchase Yamaha parts to repair my engine now, and in the future.
If your engine proves to be a faithfuly copy of the Yamaha YBR125 engine, you will be similarly fortunate.
