why is it that nekkid bikes.........

The 'bag aint that small compared to the Hornet. Narrow means f*ckall unless you are talking tyre width.
Raising the rear would steepen the steering angle thus making it turn sharper. It was just more firm than anything else.

High bars are the whole point. That's why they're so quick in the tight stuff

THe stock Hornet bars were heaps narrower than the 'bags. The grips came back on a sharper angle too. Rode the bike a few times through the Taka's with stock bars and I didnt feel like I could throw it around much. Maybe the countersteering was less effective. As soon as I put the flat-low bars on (much wider) I could really lean in and feel confident.

i dont really like the high bars though, and the narrowness of the bros650 means i can flick from corner to corner hapier

Sure just a couple of questions:
1. are you younger than 18?
2. do you have a penchant for doing sumersaults at 160km/h?

Trust me, you wouldnt like it anyway.
