Check Amvona.com -- but I'm thinking 12' is the longest available and its considered "oversized shipping" so its kinda expensive to ship. I buy mine most often from a local supplier to save shipping costs.
I'm doing a studio shot of a recently built Custom Chopper with an almost 9 foot wheel base... 12 feet won't leave me enough room on the sides to photography properly.
For the price, you might be better off buying one large sheet of white plastic instead. It's a little expensive, but lasts forever so you wouldn't need to keep replacing like you do with paper.... it might be cheaper to just buy the plastic once. Try the hardware superstores. Its the stuff they use for shower surrounds - not sure what its called properly

Thankfully I'm not the one purchasing the paper, so price isnt really a factor in this case. I tried googling this, but came up short.
The plastic is a good idea, but pretty much after this use, I wont need it again
OK, here's my last brilliant idea... there are studios around here, some privately owned and some on college property for students, etc., that will allow you to rent studio space. You might call around to see if there are any in your area who already have a very large white plastic background permenantly in place. Instead of buying the paper, charge your client for studio rental instead???

I am sure my camrea store carries it because I accidently bought it one day! When I got downstairs they asked what kind of car I had and I was thinking why on earth are they asking me that?!? So it's out there- try calling your local shops maybe. :0)
If you can find a solid color wall wide enough, you could photoshop in a background later. Or if the wall is good enough and fits in, leave it natural. Or if you can find a warehouse that is big enough, you could let the background go dark by just lighting the bike.
Another option is to use muslin material or paper and photoshop the seam later. If you place the joins together at the right place, it will be an easy job of photoshoping them out without affecting the bike. Or use several sheets of muslin and drap it like a current so it has pleats and hide the seam within the pleats.

Shoot from really far back with a telephoto to compress the background. 12' should work.
