Greetings from the Critique Club!
Compositionally this is an OK shot, with a nice colourful focal point shown in exquisite detail, even at an hour before or after high noon by the shadow.
This shot seems to me to be of two minds: is it a landscape shot, or a product shot? The bike is definitely a nice looking ride, as echoed by commenters, and the poppiness of the colour draws the eye to it immediately. But the rest of the scenery calls for attention too, though not as immediately as the bike does. Also the horizon is very close to a 50/50 split which further divides the attention. If you cover the bike and foreground, you have an entirely different shot; ditto if you block off the mountains.
I have to side with Jake (bdh) here. I can see you love both where you are, and your bike, but would like to see the bike positioned a little differently. Turning the bike around would also cast the shadow behind it and give it more of a sense of where it's been, than where it's going. Also, if you'd shot the bike from lower down so the mountains were looming behind it instead of beside it, I think you would have gotten a much stronger shot.
Hope this helps!
