My point is, you have a wider sweep for left handers, assuming you're not about to stick your head in a hedge! On right handers, you often have to limit that left to right space.
Camber means you're already effectively on the side of the tyre before you even lean on a right hander, whereas on a left hander, the bike is effectively more upright for the same radius of bend. As per the old banked tracks and Daytona etc, centrifugal forces drive you into the surface as you corner on a left hander.
Of course, I have to be a bit different :rolleyes . Because of a reconstructed shoulder and having less extension in my left elbow, I tend already to be seated slightly to the left, simply because of less reach available with my left arm to the bars. This actually helps me with left handers, as my weight distribution is already favourable for them. Makes right handers a bit more work for me tho'.
