I also think buying a new bike is a real bad idea for the new rider. It's going to get damaged at some point, so a used, less than perfect, cycle is a much wiser choice.
I've never taken out a loan for a cycle, and to me it's not a good idea either.

And those "Service Contracts" don't even cover anything but basic maintenance, you have to pay for parts and anything extra, no tire changes. I asked once about it, and told them it was a rip off, their response, but we give you preference and your bike will be done first, naw pass.
