round bar vs typical 12 bar..

what do you guys use and why?
im just lookin for some insight from all yall pros

im pickin up a round bar before the spring hits, my main reasoning is i dont like the idea of a big *** flat piece of steel landing on my leg and chopping it off..ive seen a lot of people hit it too hard doing a wheelie and it got messy fast. the times ive seen a round bar hit, it just kinda kept going smoother on the pavement with less resistance. i like the way the round bar looks on the tail of my bike too.
only down side is i wont be able to park it straight up for the winter..hehe

Re: round bar vs typical 12 bar..

yeah the round bar looks wwaayyy cleaner but I think you can't do as much **** with it, I'd go with the 12.

you got it backwards. the flat bar is waaaaay easier to make stable when scrapin.

if you arent goin to do bar tricks, then go with the round bar. and i would agree, the round bar does look cleaner.

can you scrape? didnt think so, leave your bike as is until you can scrape. a stock tail is a lot more forgiving than a bar.
