Neither is grammatical, but they're understandable.

A few possible variations:
He was riding the motorcycle at speeds of 100 to 110 km per hour.
He was riding the motorcycle between 100-110 km per hour.
He was speeding on the motorcycle up to 110 km per hour.
He was driving the motorcycle upwards of 110 km per hour.

... and it's wrong to put two dots after '110' (post '3).
