In an action police have described as “ridiculous”, the male rider, aged in his 50s, was clocked by officers on Nerriga Road, west of Nowra travelling at 165km/h in a 100 zone.
The rider, from East Hills, was caught by police mid afternoon, while travelling west.
He was stopped and had his licence suspended on the spot, was also fined $2384 and will lose six demerit points.
A police spokesperson said the man’s behavior was “ridiculous”.
“Police continue to be out in force and we will stop motorists doing the wrong thing,” the spokesperson said.
“It is disappointing motorists aren’t adhering to the warnings.
“We will keep patrolling and take action where needed.”
Locally, officers in the South Coast Police District also took part in Operation Drink Drive at the weekend.
Officers conducted more than 4000 random breath tests over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, issuing 180 tickets.
Random drug testing was also carried out during the operation.
