You mean scooters traveling <35mph surrounded by other scooters traveling <35mph

E.g. the most common motorcycle in Vietnam is the 110cc Honda Wave with a top speed under ideal conditions of ~60mph. It literally would not be called a motorcycle in the US.

No, I'm talking about motorcycles traveling ~50mph surrounded by other motorcycles, cars, trucks and whatever else goes on around and in metropolitan areas, even in countries in Europe.

The cities that Americans travel to in order to experience quaint and whimsical urban environments?

I don't think any city in Europe is as anti-human as your standard American metro, suburb, or small town.

Also: European metro areas are full of two-wheeled not-motorcycles, like the Honda above.

From time spent living in the Philippines I have no idea what they're even on about. Sometimes I watched the local news and it was absolutely plastered with endless mass death of motorcyclists. Life is just cheap in south east asia so when a gazillion people get splattered on their bike no one thinks too much about it, it's just the risk of doing the business.
