Police caught a motorcyclist travelling almost double the speed limit on the Calder Freeway at the weekend.

Brimbank highway patrol officers detected the bike travelling 193 km/h in a 100 km/h zone just before 11pm on Saturday night.

The Suzuki GSXR exited the freeway at Kings Road, Taylors Lakes and was clocked at 136 km/h with police hot on his tail.

The Diggers Rest man, 31, was eventually stopped on the Melton Highway.

Police say the driver was expected to be charged on summons with speeding dangerously and exceeding the speed limit.

His high performance bike has been confiscated and will spend 30 days in an impound yard.
