As I've said before - a lot of sport touring bikes have them as well because they're more comfortable over distance - you can get tucked down more behind the fairing, and you get a much better balance between your feet, and ass/back -the wind lifts you up a bit so there's no weight on your wrists!
Personal preference - I prefer the riding position of sports bikes, find it comfier than upright bikes. Also find it easier to ride quickly with them. That said, for dickabout riding flat bars have their benefits - my dad's FZ1 pulled bloody brilliant wheelies with that engine and you being sat so far back and up!
