What criteria have shortened your list to those two?

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:
