Aprilia RS 457

The Aprilia RS 457 is the result of a brand-new project designed to accompany the riders in their growth, both on the road and on the track. Its main strengths include its the lightness, boasting the best power-to-weight ratio possible for a motorcycle suitable for an A2 license, as well as its easy handling and its technological features.

The Aprilia RS 457 is powered by a modern and technologically advanced parallel-twin engine, liquid-cooled with a double overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder, capable of delivering 35 kW of power, which is the maximum allowed for a motorcycle with an A2 license. In addition to its power, the bike’s weight is remarkable: 159 kg dry, for an unbeatable power-to-weight ratio. The aluminum frame, designed with engine bearing function, along with adjustable suspension, forms a benchmark chassis. Consistent with Aprilia’s tradition, the electronic equipment is comprehensive: Ride by Wire throttle, three riding modes, ABS, and adjustable and disengageable traction control. Additionally, it includes an electronic quick-shift gearbox among its accessories.

After a little consideration..... The track and grass shouldn't be blurred if the rider is in focus right?

You dont know about cameras? Abit likes eyes but they need understanding and telling what to do to get the effect of the user wants.

The effect you can do to a picture is variable, doesn’t have to be, can be both or neither. 
that effect that the photographer has gone for, is a faster freeze focal point that makes it look like it’s moving faster and more dynamic that it really could be. even the spokes have a slightly moving look it it so it doesn’t look static (particularly blurred).
 

Adjustable cameras settings, apertures etc can give you the sharp subject yet a out of focus background.

I'm fully able to use a manual camera. 

 

What f stop value would you of used to get a blurred fore and background whilst keeping the shadow seemingly in focus? 

[bonio]

It's more about shutter speed than f stop. You need something not too fast... 1/30s perhaps might be slow enough if the bike is going at a decent speed. 

Then you choose an f stop suitable for the current light conditions and iso.

Finally, you have to pan while taking the shot, otherwise you get the opposite effect where the bike blurred but the background isn't.
