They're both high revving kits, Casa or Mugello would be more town friendly kits. Imola and RB20 are both great kits but better suited for thrashing around having some fun.

Agreed. I have a Casa and an Imola kit and they are two totally different animals. I would recommend the Casa kit for a town/commuter bike, the Imola is definitely high reviving and the Casa will be cheaper overall to set up, considering the cost of a suitable exhaust, carb, etc to suit the Imola. I use my Casa for in town, the Imola is for out of town.

Well I have an RB250 and an Imola 185 and both are rev monsters. Ridden away from the congestion of town ..which they hate....At least on the Imola I can pootle but to be honest for.'work and local trips' i would say a mugello kit instead :lol:
