If BMW only sold bikes to existing owners, that would be a good point.
However, if a company only sells to the existing customers, that company
will die.  I am getting older as is everyone else.  For an example, the
R1200C was designed to bring in new owners.  BMW is trying to bring in new
customers, and that customer has to survive long enough to learn what you
and I already know about riding.
