Steven,
With a clean record like that, I'd be doing what Wardy said (ie: writing a letter pleading for leniency) ASAP!!!

If that doesn't work, and your job requires you to have a license (mentioning that in your letter in a very humbling but not overly grovelling style can't hurt, either), I'd be seriously considering challenging it in court! Like pan and Bill mentioned, if you can afford and/or justify it, seeking the advice of a solicitor asap would be a smart way to go with it!!
Mark Stenberg, local bike-riding solicitor, has received great praise from many riders he's helped over the years!
http://www.lawstop.com.au/
He is VERY familiar with this section of road, & also rides a gixxer thou....so he comes from the very same fine pedigree!!
just curiously.....that 60k speed sign, is it obscured from your point of view
anywhere at all whilst you're travelling towards it (hint hint: grow, surrounding tree foliage >>> GROW!!! 
)
Try not to feel too down about it.....most of us have been before, or will be in the future, in a very similar situation....it's just the nature of the [busa] beast
Best of luck mate, & let us know how you go with it....
