2! My theory -
Considering that these tyres work better with more weight on them, if you take some weight off while cornering, they will 'wash' away. The front is obviously worse, due to the steering inputs moving the tyre off line and less rubber contact anyway. So having the bars near the front will remove some weight from the front and put it on the bars, depending how hard you ride the bars, resulting in wash out, noticed by the bike not steering into the corner, just seems to go straight on. Also, with the bars at the rear positions, the drag effect of the bars helps to keep the front in line. No 2 is not ideal, but then there are not that many places left to fit them!
