The rider was first spotted by police on the Princes Highway at Broughton, near Berry, around 11pm on Saturday, April 6.
When officers attempted to stop the bike due to its speed the motorbike allegedly sped away towards the north.
The bike was later spotted on the M1 Princes Motorway at Albion Park, with a police car giving chase.

Officers attached to Lake Illawarra Police District are investigating the incident and have called on anyone with information call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
