I have always wondered about motorcycles like that. The handlebars are so high, it seems like all the blood would drain out of your arms and they'd feel prickly!
A biking-enthusiast friend says those bikes are far more difficult to steer, because of the height of the handlebars. She prefers normal handlebars and figures people who prefer the high ones are after the style more than manageability.
I would have to agree. I grew up around motorcycles (my dad, uncles and cousins always had them, so I was riding by the time I could walk.) I can't imagine they're easy to handle, and I certainly can't imagine they're any sort of comfortable.
