Paris is where fashion meets two wheels. Parisians zip around on their Vespas, tourers, sport tourers, and Triumphs without compromising high fashion. Don't believe me? Motorcycle shops in Paris retail peacoats with built-in crash protection and no one would be caught wearing a hyper-stenciled full facial helmet. It's all about subtle fashion and 3/4 helmet protection.
Scooters and tourers are what you'll see most of... there are a lot of BMWs and Vespas making the rounds. When it rains you just throw on a raincoat and a rain-apron and you're good to go. Paris is huge, parking is a big issue, and while public transportation is good it can take forever if you're connecting through a couple of awkward lines. Two motorized wheels solve that problem perfectly.
