Merseyside Police were called to South Road, near to the junction with Speke Boulevard around 7.15pm on Friday 19 July.
Holly was found with serious injuries and taken to hospital where he died a short time later.
Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, lead investigating officer from Merseyside Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “Our thoughts are with Brandern’s family at this very sad time.
“It remains a priority for us to get answers for them about what happened and we are working to establish those facts.
“I continue to appeal directly to anyone who saw anything and who has yet to speak with my team to please get in touch.
“This collision happened on the entry slip road to the Jaguar Land Rover site. We know that the motorcycle was travelling eastbound, having exited Penketh Drive near to the Morrisons Superstore and had turned right.
“Early enquiries show a number of vehicles in the area at that time and I believe it will have been witnessed by members of the public or have been captured on dash cameras.
“The motorbike involved was a Suzuki SV650 and was a very distinctive yellow colour, which would stand out to road users.
“In addition I would also ask anyone who was in the area at the time who has dashcam fitted to their vehicles to urgently review it.
“These devices can often capture key evidence without the driver of the vehicle being aware. Any help we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could assist our investigation.”
