Dare i ask what the 'complete package' price is for Cylinder kit, pipe, crank, ignition & carb?

No lower than £1900 but anymore than £2200 is too much, then you would really want a complete rebuild so £3900.
I have had a rebuild recently so think these figures are about right

Nearly £4k for a engine rebuild on a moped feck me, i'm in the wrong job!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you have done to it for that price?

I droped off a complete rapido 225 and picked up a RT255, the only parts used from the old engine were the engine cases,gearbox and ignition
all the other bits i sold on and my price was £3300

How does it compare to the Rapido? What's it like to ride?

Dan.. I dont know.. pricing is not in Charley's department. He has designed it for Tino only and the rest is down to the Italian guy himself.
As above the lad paid £3300 for his motor.. we can all pay this sort of money for a top spec motor when you add it up. It will be interesting to see what the price is.

Much better its smoother and has more power i don't have to go up and down the box, i am running a 30mm carb and clubman exhaust so the power figures are not high 23bhp 20ft/lb torque but it pulls my 230lb bulk through my Li150 17/46 gearing easily,
Mark supplied what i wanted a long distance cruiser on my last two trips to Spain and France comfortable cruising was 6500 rpm about 75 mph and it will still pull up to 8000 rpm
you could DIY or use another builder tuner as mark has an expensive lifestyle (yacht, BMW panzer 1200 GS, homes in europe etc)

Didn't I say that on page 2?

You have to love Tino, of course. For all he has done Lambretta. But he is Italian.

with the amount of ports in it they probably have trouble keeping the remains of the metal in one piece.

a super monza twin would be nice

Nick... Easy tiger, no need to have a run down. Why not be constructive instead? You might be surprised once the project reaches the end of the tunnel.
