The force said it was reported the rider had fallen off after losing control before he crashed into parking bollards, and crews from Jersey Fire and Rescue Service were called after the motorbike caught alight afterwards.
Officers said the rider, a 52-year-old man, was taken to hospital and remained in a "serious but stable" condition.
