Belconnen, ACT, Nov. 21 -- ACT Policing issued the following media release:

A 21-year-old Barton man has been charged and his motorbike seized after multiple videos of him speeding and riding dangerously on Canberra streets were posted to his social media accounts.

Earlier this year, ACT Road Policing officers became aware of a social media account that showed a motorcyclist repeatedly speeding and riding dangerously on Canberra roads. Speeds identified in the videos included the man riding at more than 200km/h in an 80km/h zone and 185km/h in a 60km/h zone.

An investigation was commenced and on Wednesday (19 November 2025) multiple officers executed a search warrant at a residence in Barton. A Suzuki GSXR motorcycle, a mobile phone and a video camera were seized during the warrant.

The man was subsequently charged with two counts of aggravated dangerous driving. Investigations are continuing and further charges may be laid.

Detective Superintendent of Road and Proactive Policing, Alex Nicolson said that ACT Policing has zero tolerance towards motorists speeding like this.

"The speeds depicted in these videos are appalling, and the behaviour falls well short of the public's expectation of other road users, said Detective Superintendent Nicolson.

"Committing these offences in front of an online audience of thousands directly contradicts our continued messages around promoting safer roads and reducing road trauma.

"Driving on our roads is a privilege, not a right and comes with a responsibility to other road users. If you breach that responsibility by driving or riding dangerously then you can expect we will use all means available to address that behaviour.

"We know how vulnerable motorcyclists are on our roads, with 5 of the 11 road fatalities last year being motorcyclists."

"While you may not see police at the time, that does not mean we aren't watching and when it comes to our roads you can expect ACT Policing to be anywhere, anytime."
