Officers from Melbourne Highway Patrol impounded two motorcycles overnight caught travelling nearly triple the speed limit in West Melbourne.
Police first spotted the learner riders inbound on Footscray Road, where they were detected on laser travelling 116km/h in a 40km/h zone, about 8pm.
The men, a 19-year-old from Camberwell and 21-year-old from Taylors Lakes, were pulled over by police and advised officers they had only obtained their learner permits last month.
Both bikes were impounded by police for 30 days at a cost of $896.10 each.
It is expected the pair will each be charged on summons with speed dangerous and exceeding the speed limit.
