Yeah I should caveat I don’t like choppers or ape hanger bars either. They’re just daft and basically turn you into a car on two wheels. Forward controls aren’t all that practical for a guy my height either.
Though something like the CMX500, a bobber style but ‘less bobbed’ if you will is my kryptonite. A cruiser to be sure, but slightly aggressive rather than laid back in its stance.
But you’re right, not practical. Which also makes them kind of boring. Pretty to look at, boring to ride as anything more than a commuter. But even then it loops back to the ‘steer out of trouble’ point you make. All bark no bite.
Like the full on choppers (think exhausts mms off the ground and a foot out past the back wheel —stupid!) they’re mostly good in a straight line and what good is THAT! ;D
