I have a feeling that this was shot in some sort of show room, hence the red lights. It is a gorgeous bike, and you nearly got it.
I would do a high pass sharpening to it, just to make it less soft, then play with the selective colours and hue and saturation . A little dodge and burn on the lights will bring it out and pop a little more too.
You have it at a great angle though and it is great on the eye! |

| Looks like a gorgeous piece of machinery! I take it you were using a red light to illuminate it - there's an overall pink cast (and I can see the red light reflecting off the front tire. I would think maybe more natural light would show off the chrome better, give it more of that silvery tone. Also, for my taste (and I'm sort of a minority here), I almost want a person in the shot to give it scale and balance. The way it's presented here is good if you want to show it off as a catalog item, but to give it scale, personality, I think it needs a person. Often easier said than done! Finally, you could try a bit more sharpening to make it "pop" as the saying goes. |

| The white balance appears to be off. If it was intentional then I don't really think the tone suits the bike well. Decent shot, otherwise. |

| The lighting on this doesn't really help it sparkle. Also the front tire seems soft. |
