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!!
