The rider, identified only as a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, White said.
The crash was first reported by the Berkeley Scanner.
No other vehicles were involved in the collision, according to police, and the man was alone on the motorcycle. Police are continuing to investigate the crash, White said.
