The man had hit a guardrail on the left side of the road and was thrown from his motorcycle. He was found a short distance away and pronounced dead at the scene.
Police identified the victim in a press release Monday morning, but later said his identity had not been officially confirmed by the coroner.
The crash remains under investigation.
