I find the Vincent with the flat bars has a perfect riding position. It is a very comfortable bike to ride all day long, and that is very important. The seat is quite close to the bars and I think that is why even though the bars are quite low it is really comfortable. I have no reason to change anything. Maybe it is people with shorter arms that like the Touring bars? Still the touring bars are not like ape hangers or anything like that. Probably they are really comfortable also.
