The A18 on Kingsway, between the junction of Brumby Wood Lane and Church Lane, was closed for several hours afterwards.
The 21-year-old has since been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.
Humberside Police said it is thought the driver lost control of the BMW R1150 GS while travelling along Kingsway.
It had been reported as stolen on Tuesday, according to officers' inquiries.
