Been so creatively calling this ‘the red bike’.

Very sweet! Where can I get that style of handlebar?
These are VDC cruiser bars. As Thebigorangecat suggested. They pop up from time to time. The are easily one of my favorite bars. I’d check eBay periodically as well. Expect to pay $100-250 depending on color/condition.
There is a modern ‘copy’ of them that is sold as ‘the devil’s bend’. I’ve seen them on eBay from time to time. I think they are a lil over $100.
 
Nice components!

I got a blue bike on the back burner.

Gonna use the kickback after I paint the yellow stripes blue, red, or black
And some tall CW style bars.
