Cheers. I'm still undecided. I am considering a complete RB 250 engine. I had a quote to have a quattrini conversion done to mine. About £3,000
I dont have to pay a hell of a lot more and I can buy a RB250 complete. That way I get a spare engine.
Casa ss200 is by far the cheapest option.

It seems you still need to decide what you want from an engine. Some of the options you have mentioned are quite different from each other. You appear to be assuming that an RB250 is better than any small block kit full stop. It may well be but if you aren’t sure what you require from an engine then how can it be better? Some big cc motors are pain to ride at town speeds but a dream on the fast A roads. Some big cc motors are also very thirsty at whatever speeds you ride but then again a rip snorting Casa 200 probably isn’t the most economical. Do you want a torquey general use scooter that you can just jump on and go shopping or to the seaside or do you want to spend time in the fast lane on the M1? You can actually still achieve 225cc with a small block engine if you use a long stroke crank. There are 225 Quattrini engines about built on original 150 cases that are very torquey using clubman exhausts and there are 210 cc motors with high revving pipes that are true 90mph machines. This conundrum is why a lot of lambretta enthusiasts have 3 or more. Whilst it not easy at the moment the best way is to speak to people who use different engines and see what makes them tick. What have you ridden in the past?
