You need a softbox setup like 55/RAD or use multiple strobes... You can pretty much alter a lot by using the light filters in photoshop....
You also need really good lenses. a portrait lense perhaps with 1.4 focal length... that will definitely produce some wonderful effects. At this point you really need a digital SLR or use the lens filter in photoshop to get the bokeh (blurring of the background or extreme foreground.
You may have to setup them up thematically, like a wet look, something that use lace, pink, oil, sputtered upon, maybe a twosome, threesome deal, how about chaining the bike? Brooks saddles, leather bars?
You can even make white lightning or Stans look really erotic or kinky on the valves or cogs.

But in order to get the shallowest DOF, try zooming out all the way and frame the shot with your feet.
