Left hand or right hand corners,which do you prefer.I use to prefer left handers until i started doing track days but now both seem ok still with a preference for left handers.This could be the fact that we ride on the right side of the road(left) over here and you haven't the thought of if you cut it fine that you're gonna meet a vehicle coming the other way as in left handers.Or is it just human equillibrium and gravity which makes lefty's more appealing.Thoughts please.

My left hip doesn't have the range of motion the right one does, so I can't get off the side as much on the right side... So, I prefer lefts overall as I can generally take them faster. The rights just don't feel as comfortable as it's tough to get my knee to hang...

IMHO I think I like lefts better because there is less pressure on my throttle hand in a left hand turn. In a right handed turn I have to push down on the right side bar and control the throttle (on the right side) at the same time. Pushing on the throttle may twist the throttle either forward or back, messing with the speed that I want to carry through the turn, possibly causing an unwanted shift in my line. Anybody agree with me on this one?

Right hander. But I am left handed. Does that have anything to do with it? I always put my preference for right handers down to 22 years of roundabout surfing in the UK and Oz??

I thought about this and tried to come up with a preference and couldn't. Either left or right seems equal to me.
