Putting ground planes on top and bottom layers isn't usually done with high speed PCBs because components are there. There would need to be a cutout on the ground plane near every chip. High speed signals really need continuous ground plane and ICs, especially RF ICs, need short access to ground. Second layer is the best layer to minimize the distance from ICs to ground plane.
