Well, yeah, I think it looks better when they're narrower, but we all have our own tastes, and the only opinion that really matters is yours.
I like wider bars for more leverage if it's a heavy bike, or if I plan on muscling it around a lot.
Narrower bars, to me, feel more vintage and cool. Back then guys didn't need to make sudden steering inputs, they cut graceful arcs around the track and tucked in every possible way to get every last mph out of their bikes.
That's what low, narrow bars feel like to me.
The good thing about clipons is they're adjustable and you can try it in all different ways.
