“We tried to make a store that targets men who are interested in motorcycles,” said a Lotte spokesman.

“We’ll try to expand our shopping spaces that cater to male customers.”

The number of Korean motorcycle fans has increased in recent years, doubling the number of imported high-capacity motorbikes from 10,300 in 2012 to 20,800 in 2015.
