Simple often works.
Outdoors. Bright cloudy day. Fill flash or none. Uniform or at least simple background. Pose your beautiful model. Try various angles to see how she (whoops, it) is best portrayed. You can also break the rule and get something good like Hermes did.
If your gear allows, you can use a high shutter speed and wide aperture to keep the bike in focus while the background is out of focus.
Generally, we amateur shooters fuss too much with the camera and not enough with paying attention to the model and the light.
