MOPED ARMY

I have a Kawasaki Ninja 250. I also catch a bit of slack from those with bigger motorcycles about mine being the smallest one. (I am a short mom of 2 that is learning to ride, so this bike is perfect for me.) My question to you is, Where can you actually ride a moped if their engine is so small. My bike will do 105, and I catch slack...I saw somewhere on here someone talking about a moped doing 15mph. In my city, that is asking to get run over. So where can you ride one?? I am just curious.
