If a newbie is going to buy their own sport bike they will usually buy used, so dealers may not even be involved. If a parent is buying one for a kid, they may have no experience and will go to a dealer. Some parents buy their teenagers Escalantes, so maybe some parents are so rich and naive that they will buy their kids an R1 or busa. If a parent is too lazy or busy to get informed about a motorcycle purchase, then it becomes everyone's problem.
I think that a lot of potential buyers check the internet first and there should be a sticky? thread on buying a first bike. Some other threads such as how to buy used, or users best new and used 250's, 500's or 600's threads could be compiled into a "what and how to buy your first bike" thread.
