Don't even think about taking that K1600 down there, and there's definitely nothing to see here for you Goldwing types either.

Should this parking lot for scooters replace the MSF?

The only thing that surprised me there, was that they didn't make the ramp two way.

I hadn't thought of that.
I know they pack'em in pretty tight in that part of the world but yeah I thought it was cool to see from someone like me who never been over there. I sure would hate to be fighting a periodic stalling issue in there.

More than a few.
0:17, :23, :26, :30 (really long one there), :38 have some long mirror marks, and 1:18 has some pretty good tire marks.
That doesn't look any worse to me than some of the filtering I've seen from various places around the globe (not claiming I could deal with it). In fact, walls are stationary vs moving vehicles. But it is continuous for quite a bit.
I think it is primarily mindset and paradigm. We like our wide open spaces. When we ride, we typically choose to ride away from traffic. Riders in other countries are accustomed to congestion, crowding, and riding handlebar-to-handlebar/mirror-to-mirror. They ride out of necessity or as a preferred alternative to public transpo, bicycles, and small cars.

Funny things people notice when coming from a different culture. My half-sister's first visit to the US and Texas was from London. Leaving DFW she was absolutely amazed at the amount of land we dedicate to freeway intersections. Couldn't believe all the open and used land.
Surprised how spacious the parking spots were. Usually scooters are crammed in and parked at double that density.

Besides staying between the walls, I think it would be hard to maintain speed to stay upright while also not being able to see a safe distance ahead.

Watched that the other day, doesn't look any worse than the splitting I do in the city. I'd take my FJR down that without hesitation.

"Hey man can I borrow your scooter tomorrow"? I wanna pound a few beers and make some timed runs into and out of the parking garage. I'll buy a case if you want to come along.
Bank the curves up onto the wall and you have the equivalent of Ray's indoor Mountain bike park.
