It's a nice looking bike, but you're losing parts of it against those backgrounds.

Sorry it took so long to answer. We had a power failure Sunday, & afterward my modem wouldn't connect.
In #1 the dark windscreen blends into the background. In #2, the white tail does, too.

I can't enjoy the bike, the backgrounds are super busy and distracting. Remember this on your next session... Location, Location Location! :D

I'm really digging that bike dude. You should do a manipulation with it. Sample below :D

I agree on the backgrounds. Maybe a darker brick type wall?

Sweet bike! They look good to me, they just need a few tweaks here and there but not much.

#1 The black front fairings blends in with the background just a bit but I do like the way it is.
#2 I would either make the background have a grunge feel to it to make the bike stand out, or boost the colors of the graffiti a tad but not too crazy that would strain the eyes lol.
#3 I would blur out the background more.

Light browns, greens, slate gray (metal) look good as backgrounds for white bikes. I spend a pretty good amount of time with my camera at the track, I have friends who race their sport bikes.

Here's another example, honestly kind of a terrible picture - from when I first started shooting cars, but you get the idea - the color and the texture contrasts sharply with the smoothness of the car and makes it pop:

Or maybe just wait until the sun goes down a bit and use the flash to make the bike stand out more. I agree with the earlier comment that a solid brick wall or contrasting color (red, blue, gray, etc would make the bike stand out more). Here's the opposite - bright bike against dark background.
