A Brooklyn man riding his brand-new motorcycle died Monday in a collision with an SUV.

Dheyshawn Artope, 36, had just left his job as a manager of a Radio Shack and was riding along Clarendon Road in East Flatbush, said his grief-stricken mother, Vivian Artope-Knotts.

“He was a perfect son and a perfect father,’’ she said.

He had two kids, a 13-year-old and a 17-year-old about to start college.

His mom said he’d bought the bike because “his uncle had one and he wanted to follow in his footsteps.’’

The SUV driver, who was heading north on Kings Highway, remained on the scene and passed field sobriety tests, a police source said, adding, “It was an unfortunate accident.’’
