Have a mate who has a small block and is looking for a Rapido or Imola. He would prefer a new one or a 2nd hand kit as long as its sound and the price is right. What sort of price are these kits new and anyone know who sells them cheapest? And is anyone selling one....
Any other kit reccomendations welcome.

yeah forgot ,mate has an Li with a Rapido but forgot he had a 200 casing in there...
Guy hasnt had a scooter since a vespa 50 back in 80s. Wants something that keeps up with everyone else but isnt a full on RB or ts. Dont think he has loads of cash to spash ans would probably try to source carb and pipe 2nd hand to keep the cost down.
The Muggelo is the other option and is a bit cheaper than the Imola at £345 compaered to £455 the only other one i can see that might do the job is the SR. I dont know much about any of these kits.

Why not a GT, if there's any left?

rapidos are fit for 15 reliable bhp with a clubman and 24mm mikuni with a beedspeed filter. fit for 70mph which is faster than you ll see most rbs ACTUALY doing.
the rb will get there faster but not everone can be arsed with all the screaming around.
id guese he would be happy with the rapido.

The Imola walks all over the Mugello, TS1's can struggle to lose you too except on flat out top speed. It's no contest go for the Imola.
