Going 100 or 120 is very different than going 180. Going 205 is reserved for flat out race bikes. The wind resistance at that speed is tremendous and the skill to control a bike at that speed is rare. Very few people live to tell the tale about how they went 150+ on a motorcycle as your friend can attest to. I think the simplest way to settle this case is just find out what the tires are rated for. You can't go 205 on just run of the mill tires they'd have to be Z and possibly V.

I had a couple of bikes when I was in college and after riding for two years everyone I knew with a motorcycle wiped out. Most got away with bumps and bruises, some got broken bones and one is a quadriplegic. I decided I was way ahead on the odds and sold my bike.

A common story. That's what seperates the bikers from the motorcyclists. The motorcyclists can walk away if they want to, and often do. Bikers have it running through their veins.
