Hmm, I would take that to court and try to contest it. I would argue that you had your high beams on because there were no cars in front of you at the time, but by the time the officer got in front of you. You first had to make sure that the road ahead was safe enough to before focusing your attention on turning the high beams off. If the judge then says that you should know the controls on your bike well enough to be able to turn off the high beams. Then say an accident can happen within a fraction of a second, and thats just about the same amount of time it takes to turn the high beams off.
Or you can argue that when the officer passed you going 85mph, you did not know it was a police officer and thought it was someone driving recklessly because they sped past you and, suddenly decelerates to get behind you. You did not want to turn your high beams off because if it was a reckless driver you wanted to make sure you were visible to them, to avoid an accident.
Good luck with everything. Hope things work out in your favor. Seems like crap for an officer to give you a citation for something like that
