Other than that is is probably something subconscious, like what rhino mentioned.
In a right curve you are being pushed toward oncoming traffic...in a left you are being pushed toward the side of the road.
On the TG I think I am equally comfortable with left or right...although, there is always a chance of hitting a curve too fast and going wide into oncoming traffic in a right, whereas in a left I would not.
On two wheels I feel more comfortable leaned over in a left than a right...BUT, because there are more tight rights I end up dragging my boards or pegs more on the right than the left.
I know, in my mind, there is the psychological factor that if I low side (sand, oil, squirrel) in a right, the chance of me sliding into oncoming traffic is a factor.

That. Also what Kevin said about being pushed toward oncoming traffic during a right hand turn could be a subconscious factor too. If you're talking very slow, in traffic right turns, it may be because your clutch hand is further away from you during the turn.
