I've got an imola and a long stroke mugello with a reed valve so I can only speak for these 2.
The imola is mental and mugello more bottom endy and smoother. I could go on ....... :D

I would go for the RT, superbly engineered with plenty of potential for increased performance if you decide you want more from yor scoot..

I am just after a standardish kit for a bit of a runaround, as I am in jersey its just for short trips 1 up, got standard gp200 gearing with 22mm carb and a mbbgm clubman. Don't really want to go reed valve or big carb as I also have an rb22, just want something to putt around on.
Casa 185 sounds ideal for this...personally I like the GT kits but maybe overkill for what you want?

Iv'e had a few good results using a GP 150 barrel bored to 62/64mm (175/186) play with inlet and exhaust timings but don't go too wild (140-145 inlet and 165-168 exhaust) flow/match transfer feeds 22mm carb, drilled airbox, final drive circa 5.2-5.4 and a clubman.
It will never set the tarmac alight but should havea lot more grunt throughout the rev range and doesn't hit a brick wall at 6,000 rpm

Thanks for the replies, I've decided to go for the rt kit and see what its like with the 22mm carb and maybe upgrade to a 25mm carb in the future.

if your changing to a bigger carb but want to retain the original look I prefer a 24mm PWK on correct manifold, so original bellows, filter and drilled airbox can be used, cheaper,smaller and more compact, they run a lot smoother/cleaner low down, snappier throttle response and a doddle to jet in
