Whyte 150 RS

In a LBS today and they had the new Whyte 150RS in the showroom.
Said they’ve already sold all of their allocation, most customers paid in full pre-production.

The pics don’t do it justice ??

Do the welds look neater around the motor now? The bike reviewed by Guy K was pretty hideous in that area...

Other than the Bosch display! It’s a bugbear of mine, they really need to sort it out.

To each his own, all bikes have +\-
If I had to pick one thing it would be the motor wiring coming from the rear of the motor, it looks a little exposed and could snag.

It still want one though ?

I just meant the welding was very rough - nothing wrong with the look of the bike overall. See below screengrabbed from the Guy Kesteven video...

That looks like a year 9 metalwork class ???

Didn’t see that when I looked ?

I am sure they will have fixed it in production models - whilst Whyte welding can be a little utilitarian, I've never seen anything from them as bad as that. Prob just a pre-prod mule that had been altered and tweaked a few times.
