If you want handling,.. look to race bikes...
Dirt racers use a wider bar, for quicker response, and less fatigue... street racers have narrow, low bars,.. for stability, and aerodynamics...
No bikes build for performance use apes...
No long distance touring bikes do either...
If you like the look,.. go for it... but, it ain't good for handling, comfort, or performance...
Same goes for forwards,.. and hard-tailing...
These mods wreck handling...
... same as, running open pipes, and cone filters, ruin performance...
If you want what you want,... just be honest with yourself.... it ain't because it will be better,... it's just because that's how you want it...
Style is a matter of personal opinion,... performance isn't...
Truth hurts...
...(I'm having rotten day,...
)... ranting makes me feel better...
That's my sadistic side...
