I suppose its' because the tube is free floating.Yeah that's normally the reason for only noticing on the throttle sometimes. Also it can be the frequency that is an issue. I had a Tiger 800 I had to get rid of as the high frequency vibes at 6k were making the bike unpleasant to ride. They weren't that strong, just an irritating frequency that left your hand buzzing for hours after getting off.
Quite often the heavy bar ends aren't actually 'absorbing' the vibration, but adjusting the frequency at which they vibrate, hopefully to a pitch you don't notice or can live with.
