I even saw a set on a V-rod at my dealer.

They just plain look dumb.

Is it even comfortable to ride like that for a hundred or so miles?

As long as it isn't too high...it's very comfortable...

From what I am reading here your opinion matters not. Ya don't Bag on someone elses Bagger. Apes may not be for you but that does not make them dumb.

If I had the coin, I'd do a set of apes in a heartbeat......
but other priorities seem to prevent this.

The bars are comfortable and to each his own as for looks . I don't consider them apes unless they're 16" or higher. That is when it takes some skill to maneuver at slow speed. Anything below that isn't so bad.
