Personally, I like the look and the riding position with the low "Euro" bars that are fitted to both my R65s. Other riders can't tolerate them -sore wrists, back, etc- and switch to the higher "American" pipe for a more upright seating position... as you already understand.
Your physical size, pain threshold and riding style can dictate choice of handlebars.
The low bar to high usually require some cable swaps. Obviously, you're adding distance from the bar controls to the cable-controlled mechanical units. I'm unsure about the tach wiring harness and speedo cable.
A switch to low bars may entail some creative cable rerouting to avoid buying a full set of new
wires. If you get lucky, there may be some R65ers about that could be willing to part with their low-bar cables in exchange for cash, real estate or first born male child.
