Left front. Never ridden motorcycles so that has no bearing. I like it on the left because I can apply my front brake and downshift the rear derailleur at the same time...like when coming to a stop light.
This is my experience as well. Even after years of motorcycling and bicycling, I don't ever remember getting confused, and the ability to downshift while braking trumps braking from the right.
