The accident involved a Suzuki motorcycle and happened on the A93 at around 1.45pm between Glenshee and Braemar.
The man’s next of kin have been informed and further details will be released by police once formal identification has been done.
The road is still closed to allow for inquiries to be completed and diversions are in place.
Sergeant Stuart Lawrence from the road policing unit said: “Our thoughts at this difficult time are with the man’s family and friends.
“We have officers supporting them and would urge anyone who may have seen the motorbike around the time of the incident and who may have stopped to render assistance to contact us as a matter of urgency”.
“Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101.”
