I've got 6,000 hard miles on mine. don't know how many stone but I'm 6'4" and go about 225-235 lbs. I've got a Jap rod and a Mb race tour piston and the bugger goes like stink. I love it! I'm usually the second fastest guy around. Don't bin it! I think my displacement is 216. Love mine.
Darren here from the lambretta club of south australia ,had my race rapido 200 for about 5 years ,spec , 34mm mikuni ,jl4 pipe, center squish high comp head , variatronic,60mm mec crank, goes like stink , even in extreme weather conditions over here, i sat the scoot on 60 mph for over 80 miles in 42 to 45 degrees celsius ,thats about 110 for you guys i think, i was riding back from kangaroo island with a british lad [jamie kerr ,blackpool lambretta club ] on his ts1 , it was like opening an oven door and sticking your head in,the rapido ran perfect, i will say the best thing i have done to it is fit a 60mm crank [no pack plate , thick head gasket] it runs better and pulls into headwinds.
Chalkie is the man!
I've just had my Rapido in for a tweek. Started life as a 200 Classic, re-bored to a 225 with MB racetour, 60mm Maz crank, 28mm delly, JL3. 19lbs torque and 24 bhp!
