Leicestershire Police said the silver Honda CBR 600F motorcycle was in a collision with a dark blue Mercedes C220d.
Shaykh Ismail was travelling from the direction of the General Hospital and the car was travelling in the opposite direction.
The road was closed for many hours while police collision investigators examined the scene.
Police said the person in the car was not injured
Detective Constable Seamus Burns, from Leicestershire Police’s serious collision investigation unit, said: “I would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet contacted police.
“It was a clear afternoon and it’s likely there will have been a lot of cars on the road.
“Did you see the collision take place, or did you see either of these vehicles prior to it occurring?
“If you have a dashcam fitted, please check for any footage that may have been recorded.
“Any information you have could help with my investigation.”
