The reason behind stopping you is - in my opinion - a fair one. You were stopped in the middle of a road having a chat. On speaking to you it's reasonable to suspect you may be under-age for the size of the bike. Baring in mind any vehicle on a road can be stopped.

And the burden of proof IS on you to prove the restriction. Same way the burden of proof is on a driver to prove insurance and a license. Traffic law works differently to criminal-type offences where the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
