How do I deal with an incorrect speeding ticket on my record?

I haven't owned a car in six years and recently purchased one. When I spoke with my insurance carrier, they said my rates would be high due to a speeding ticket on my motorbike. While I've gotten a few tickets on my bike before, it's never been for speeding. Is there anything I can do?
