In terms of what's more commonly used today, my guess would be electronic. In terms of how many bikes on the street still have the front wheel drive units, I'm sure the number would have to outweigh the newer stuff by far.

That we can definitely agree on. I wonder if it's because they already have ecu to control fuel and the like? It'd likely be a simple step to throw a speed algorithm in the programming, and voila, the computer tells your speed.
