Dont get hung with the hands of the bars

I dont ride round like that!!
The bike was bought private from a retired wealthy bloke who bought the bike new, it had done 1700 miles in 9 years, full history and in immaculate condition.
Only noticed it a few weeks ago when i took my hands off for a flex after coming off the motorway, was a cold day.
Tire pressures are correct and the front forks are non adjustable. Was given a full service when i bought it 2 months ago, no issues with anything except the carbs needing set up.
