Glad you asked. I'm getting used to the new ride. You sit a bit more forward--a little more aggressive. The control is *much* better--The bike responds a bit better. I really like the new *feel*. The only thing I'm getting used to is, do I keep my arms straight or do I bend them some? Either works fine/comfortably. With the pullbacks, you don't need to make this choice--your arms just sit where they do. With the new bars, I have different positions to sit in.
I'm 5'8". I'm sure riders of different sizes might have a different view on the "ride."
Bottom line, I haven't had them on long enough to really assess long-term, but I like very much what I feel so far.
Plus, the bike looks way cooler. It's all about looks anyways, right?! :-)
