Or is it a common phenomenon to favor a left corner above a right corner?

I've been riding with Jupiter today with his newly purchased GSA. We rode some twisties and I realised that I'm much more comfortable with a left corner than a right corner.

Now there are a couple of questions I'd like to ask?

1.) Is this because I shift weight onto the right peg and its easy to get to the back brake? If I go into a right corner, I shift my weight onto the left peg. Should the bike  break away I can either brake with the back brake or stick my leg out to gain balance, but I can't do both into a right corner.

2.) Is it because I'm left handed?

3.) Is it because we ride on the left side of the road?

I personally think it's got something to do with point 1 in my discussion. Do you experienced the same or is both left cornering and right cornering the same, or is this just stupid reasoning from my side?
