why not try a gt200 kit

I'm running both mate... Rapido with reedvalve in my Red & White S2, and an RT in my GP. Both I have fitted with 60mm cranks.

Have a lot of confidence in both.....

All I can say is that the BGM RT went together with absolutely no fettling at all, whilst the Rapido took a lot of work to get the compression correct....

As you said the RT is very well made. I ran mine with a 26 Delly and have just fitted a 28 and whilst not got the jetting sorted yet it does feel quicker. I ride mine with confidence having done a few Pistons like you in the last year. 300 miles running in only..

How much would Martin charge to bore your existing barrel to 225, and give it a 'proper' stage 4 tune?
