T-bars are actually functional....try them sometime. More rigid mounting, and hand position is better for SOME.
As for "ugly"...opinion. But Id much rather that than a big wheel...this bike is built to ride, not look flashy.
We have a performance - bagger thread on here if anyones interested in this stuff.

Suspension, wheels, and brakes. That is one nasty bagger. It ain’t gonna haul *** in a straight line but you’ll probably run out of ***** before you outside the suspension and brakes on it on a nice curvy mountain road.
Id ride the **** out of it.

I have mx bars on my road glide and previously had 16" and 18" apes on my last touring bike
It's night and day difference between apes and tbars . Tbars your bike feels like it's on rails . Apes have a little flex. Even when running solid riser bushings . It's just a different animal if you decide to run tbars

No you don't see sport bikes with tall bars . Different bike, different geometry

Also brakes on our bikes are amazing from factory. Brambo equipped bikes have same or similar stopping distance as top of the line supper sports. I don’t think bike above stops any faster then the oem set up. It probably provides a better feel and certainly looks cool.
However, bike does look cool and seems like it could go fast. Definitely new style/generation of motorcycle.
