Road position on your motorcycle is all about risk assessment. In this situation there is no right or wrong, but just one to consider, when you have the option to have a whole lane to yourself to sit at the front, or is it safer sometimes to filter? Between two vehicles when sat at traffic lights might sometimes be a safer less exposed place to wait rather than in your own lane where someone might, if they're not careful rear end you. It's all about assessing and having options and the ability to avoid near misses and conflict with other vehicles.
