If straight-line speed is your priority, the V100 Mandello takes the lead. With 10 HP more than the F 900 XR, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the F 900 XR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 17kg less than the V100 Mandello, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the f900xr if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the v100mandello if you want the alternative brand character.
