The man believed to be in his 50s, was riding along Sapphire Coast Drive near Wallagoot when the incident occurred around 6.20am, May 5.
Police and NSW Ambulance attended the scene before transporting the motorcyclist to South East Regional Hospital.
Police said the man and his motorbike were off the side of the road and there was no indication any other vehicle was involved.
Local radio reports suggested he may have hit a kangaroo, but this was not confirmed in the brief police media had to hand.
A Southern Local Health District spokesperson said the man was admitted to SERH around 6.35am and as of 10.30am was still in surgery in a critical condition.
