If the salesmen were able to think more than 30 seconds in advance, they wouldn't sell a newbie an "R" bike. They would sell them a GS 500 plus a full set of gear, the most expensive helmet in the place, and send them on their way on a $5000 bike with $5000 worth of riding gear on top.
And then a couple of years later, that person would be back to step up to a new bike.
But the salesmen would rather sell you a $10000 bike and let you ride away naked...
