I asked my dealer about leftover bikes and they said they do not put old batteries in bike they deliver. They pull a new OEM Yuasa from parts stock and install that, or one from a just arrived bike. That way no one gets an old battery in a new bike.
Others dealers operate differently. For instance, my 2012 ST1300 sold in 2013 and I bought it from the original owner in 2014. It had a non OEM battery. Was a good one, according to reviews, but still. And failed in 2015.
