The Air Wing was called in to assist when the rider was detected travelling 207km/h in an 80km/h zone.

The motorcycle travelled through Dandenong and onto the Monash Freeway again travelling at alleged speeds of more than 200km/h.

He has been charged with a range of offences including reckless conducting endangering life, theft, speed dangerous, manner dangerous, unlicensed driving, using an unregistered vehicle and affixing a false plate.

He has been bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.

The bike was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1038.
