A Drouin motorcyclist will face court on a string of charges after clocking speeds of over 150km/h in an attempt to evade police.

On Sunday 17 around 3.45pm Cardinia Highway Patrol members detected the speeding Honda motorcycle travelling outbound.

The rider was initially detected travelling at 116km/h, and increased his speed to 166km/h when police attempted to intercept.

When finally caught at Princes Freeway, Longwarry, the 34-year-old Drouin man was arrested and charged with a number of offences, including driving unlicensed, exceeding the speed limit, dangerous driving and driving an unregistered vehicle.

He was arrested in relation to other family violence-related offences.
