As for the Mandello V100 comparison, I did watch this video a few months ago and was able to test ride the standard V100 when looking to replace my S1000XR. The bike was very impressive, and is a beautiful looking bike, however, I did notice some quality control/assurance issues with paint/finish of the plastic panels/fairings. Doing a bit more research in the MG forums found many owners having issues with coolant leaks -- from what was discussed it appears to be from a badly position hose clamp at the factory. These were '23 bikes (first year of the new v100), so one would think these issues have been corrected for the MY '24 bikes.
I'm extremely happy with my '23 R1250RS purchased new in Jan '24. This is my 3rd RS I've owned, and IMHO do believe it's a much better bike all around compared to the V100. However, I do like the V100 and if the better half allows, I'll hopefully add one to the garage later this year.
