No, its the shape and size. Alot of folks back in the 70s, 80s put them on Kawasaki Z-1s Gs Suzukis and other bikes that came with pcx style bars.

Im using these bars
http://japan.webike.net/products/1757524.html i tried the lower version but had issue with the throttle cable hitting the bodywork and had to modify the brakelines as well. On full lock the straighter style bars will clash with the screen as well.

I pulled my bars off the scoot, clamped them in a vise, and used a bicycle frame straightening/bending tool to bend them forward and away from me (gave them less sweep), and it helped alot, but didn't get them lower. Happy with the results though. The bars I had ordered to get things lower and with less sweep were too wide for the length of the cables and too low to clear the body work so ended up being money down the drain. They are EMGO Street handle bars. They have others that may work though.

I ordered a superbike bar off fleebay, i looked at the design of the scoot...i think if i rotate the throttle cable housing up it will clear will find out in a few days. I guess honda never considered that one bar does not fit all!

I like that bending idea vamootsman
I tried a couple "street bars" but they both sucked. My mountain bike bar/stem mod is so awesome though.
