If it is just going to be the motorcycles and no people, use a green screen and NOT blue screen. Do not use any reds.
Green is better because it has a higher lumen value and needs much less light. If you are shooting outdoors, a blue screen might also interfere with the sky.
If your bike has any green in it, you CAN go with a blue screen, but you will lose some quality depending on your camera.
Your biggest problem is going to be shadows and getting even lighting. If you have a slightly darker shade of green than you can Chroma-key out, you will have to do it manually. You can buy the paints at home depot or have them mix you a 255 green solution.
