No, not all motorcycles have low and close handlebars to the rider's body. Motorcycle handlebars come in various styles and positions, and they can be classified into different categories based on their placement and design.

  1. Standard/Naked Bikes: These motorcycles typically have upright or slightly forward-leaning riding positions, with handlebars positioned at a comfortable height and distance from the rider's body.

  2. Cruisers: Cruisers often have handlebars that are positioned higher and closer to the rider, allowing for a more relaxed riding posture with the arms outstretched.

  3. Sport Bikes: Sport bikes usually have low-mounted clip-on handlebars that place the rider in a forward-leaning, aerodynamic position to enhance performance and maneuverability at high speeds.

  4. Touring Bikes: Touring motorcycles are designed for long-distance rides and prioritize rider comfort. They typically feature handlebars that are positioned higher and wider, allowing for a more relaxed and upright riding posture.

  5. Off-Road/Dual-Sport Bikes: Off-road motorcycles and dual-sport bikes have taller and wider handlebars to provide better control and maneuverability over rough terrain.

The choice of handlebar design and position depends on the intended purpose and riding style of the motorcycle. While some motorcycles are designed for aggressive, performance-oriented riding with low and close handlebars, others prioritize rider comfort and ergonomics with higher and more relaxed handlebar positions.
