in fact most have the hoods a bit high up, i prefer it too as it creates a bit of a bull horn bar effect and it's easier to brake on the hoods..i am not a mamil btw..
the bar tilted up a bit just doesnt look good on a picture, apart from that it's just personal preference, unless you are that much of a snob that you want to be uncomfortable to look good..
