My brother got caught at 109 on his (now my) 600 fox-eye.
He whote a letter to the court apologising for his actions, said he didn't think of the consequences of his actions had anyone been in the vicinity, that he would never normally speed... etc etc. Got a lot of info from the web.
In the end he got a fine, not sure how much as he didn't tell me, and a 10 week ban. It was within the first 4 months of having his full licence.
Personally, I think he was lucky to keep his licence at all, particularly if the magistrate was having a bad day or doesn't like bikes.
Sold the bike to me as he said he couldn't trust himself. His wife also told him he'd had his chance and blown it.
