Hey guys, been browsing this site for a while and it has been very useful for my upgrades, mods and general gist of the bike. I have got myself Rizoma MA006B bar and will be fitting it tomorrow. This is my first ever post just to show the difference between to bars. Hope some of you will find it useful

Looking forward to see the difference! Here’s my transition:

Nope, mine is the MA011. I believe it’s a bit more cropped, than the 006 right? Definitely an improvement to those narly clip-ons, but it’s still a far cry from my Good old GS 1150 GSA, on which I can ride 800 miles a day, if necessary. Had I to do that on the NineT, I’d probably quit riding for good... Just today, did 130 mls for a quick morning spin and came home glad I was done.

Finally registered just to follow this. I have the 2019 Roadster and looking for slightly lower bars without compromising too much on the ergos which are pretty good for me right now. Done a few 400 km Autobahn runs with only a slightly sore butt.

I had couple of rides now since swapping the bars over and my impressions so far:

1 better handling
2 looks better
3 more comfortable riding position
4 bar end mirrors are at much better angle giving better view

Well worth the money
Only annoying thing is cables rubbing against the back of the headlight and Im not quite sure how to solve that yet!

Thanks for the photos and your impressions, @DomKiwi . Looks like quite a difference in the width of the two handlebars. I imagine the Rizoma would be popular with folks running bar end mirrors and/or riders who lane-split. While I am pretty happy with my Pure's stock handlebar, I have considered going with something a little lower to get a bit lower and more forward lean. This model would definitely be an option, and you're right - it looks great, too!

Ok, here’s a valuable comparison right from the Rizoma website to compare their different handlebars. Sorry to the US crowd here, coming from Italians it’s in millimeters only, so you’d have to use a calculator😂 The convenient thing here is that 100mm equals pretty much exactly 10cm (amazing), so 740mm is 74cm, isn’t that crazy?

Hey @Chancellor you seem to mean @DomKiwi s bike , but it looks as he hasn’t been around here since 8 months, not sure whether he’ll see your question, sorry.
I’d use the search function of the forum and am sure you’ll find lots of info there.
