I was very interested in a V100 last year and almost bought one BUT I discovered that it weighed pretty much the same as my BMW R1200RS, and had pretty much the same "options."  So I figured I would be essentially buying the same bike I already had and didn't see much point in spending a bunch of money to buy the same thing with a different name.  Also when I looked at one, it felt heavier moving it around at the dealer than my R1200 which was also a bit off-putting.  But it sure is pretty; if it weighed 217kg/475 lbs wet (or less!!) I'd have bought it in a heartbeat!!

I traded in my '24 V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale on a '25 Triumph Speed Twin 1200.  Google search says the wet weight is 476 lbs, and it's noticeably easier to move around in my storage unit than the V100 was.  Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the V100, but for me it's a MUCH more enjoyable bike to ride.

I thought he was rough as guts.
Last time I saw a self gratification session like that, was on Porn Hub.

I enjoyed both videos. The Mandello looks like a lot of fun and should be a consideration for many.
I never thought of one for me but I could change my mind on that. I better not take one for a test ride.

This is an older review but the guy definitely gets the bike:
