I only rode one of the slabside GSXR's (awful thing) so can't comment on the later bikes but agree that the riding position is possibly more comfortable than sat upright. I had back issues a few moons ago and could hardly drive my car but was fine on the bike.
As for wrist pain etc, theres a speed at which the wind passing over the screen will lift your body weight off your arms, providing you don't have a helmet thats susceptible to buffeting you can sit at that speed all day, well providing you don't get a tug from the old bill
Oh and don't fit a double bubble screen, for me its just a sure way of making your ride more uncomfortable or forcing you to ride faster before you get the benefit of lift from the wind.

Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
