And I don't know about you, but when I hold my hands out in front of me and make two fists, they are pretty much exactly the shape of a straight mtb handlebar. Also, most bars are not completely straight, but have a 3 - 10 degree bend back toward the rider. Perhaps you are more ape-like and prefer the under-the-seat handlebars on a recumbent?
"Straight" is the euphemism I used to describe bars common on most Rec & dirt bikes. I did not use the term in the literal sense.
