Normally, I might guess rangefinder, but the motor drive prompts me to ask.

It took me some time to prepare the above post which I will leave if you or someone else needs it. When I read your initial posting, I presumed an SLR when you said Motor Drive, since the drives for the Rangefinders are winders.

Roger Hicks said:Dear Brian,
No, if you ONLY EVER use M6ttl/M7. Bul all other Leicas (including the later, current, MP and the pre-ttl flash M6) have a shutter speed dial that's clockwise-for-faster.
Leicas tend to be habit forming. I've had the Wetzlar (now Solms) monkey on my back for over 30 years. Mixing 'real' Leicas and the M6ttl/M7 is a recipe for disaster if you use them semi-instinctively as I do.
Cheers,
R.

Lastly - Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but the aperture ring turns opposite of what you are used to on Nikon lenses - I believe only Pentax 67 & perhaps others turn the same way as Nikons do - took me a long time to get used to that once shooting with a Leica (or any other maker)
Good Luck
