Officers spotted the biker using his mobile phone while travelling near Stranraer last week.
In a post on social media, they said the incident shows that “despite the risks, some motorists continue to flout the law”.
The motorcyclist was given a fixed penalty notice – a £100 fine and six points on his licence.
Police Scotland is targeting reckless drivers in a new road safety campaign, following a series of fatal collisions.
Eighteen people died in road crashes on Scotland’s roads in April.
Motorists who speed, use mobiles or choose not to wear a seatbelt face fines and penalty points during the campaign.
