Two motorcyclists have allegedly been caught filming themselves street racing along winding roads north of Sydney.

Highway patrol officers clocked the bikes travelling south on the Pacific Highway near Cowan at 140km/h in an 80km/h zone about 3.45pm yesterday.

They were travelling side-by-side in what police will allege was a form of street race.

Police stopped both bikes and spoke with the two drivers, men aged 49 and 47, and seized a video camera which had been fitted to one of the bikes.

"This type of idiotic behaviour is normally the domain of the young, so it is extremely worrying to see people with years of driving experience act in this manner," said Traffic and Highway Patrol Command's Operations Manager, Superintendent Stuart Smith.

The vision allegedly showed the bikes travelling for more than two kilometres along winding roads at an average speed of 128km/h.

"While they felt the right to use the road as a playground, their actions placed their own lives and those of every other motorist at grave risk," Supt Smith said on Sunday.

The man have been charged with street racing, dangerous driving and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h.

Their licences have been suspended and police will issue a notice to confiscate both bikes.

The pair will appear at Hornsby Local Court on July 11.
