A few suggestions for you on future shots like this:
1. The bike is the subject.....fill the frame with the subject unless there is a compelling reason not to.
2. Be more aware of the lighting on the subject. Too much detail on the bike is lost in these shots.
3. Choose a better background.....you need a setting that doesn't compete with the subject. A very bland background is often best, such as an industrial building. Sometimes, such as at bike shows, you have no choice. Most often, though, such as this case, you could have parked the bike at any place that had no distracting background elements.
BTW, that's a nice bike. I had an FJR for 4 years.
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
