i would think 160-170 should be your max, no?
you are running in the anaerobic zone, yes? makes it harder to burn fat, no?
in the long run, i would think the high rpm would be detrimental to the heart.
mind you, my knowledge base is limited. : )

I've gotten my HR to >200 bpm (203 to be exact) on a spin bike, with no ill effects, didn't feel bad other than being normally tired.
On the road bike, I commonly see 180 bpm, though I can't keep that level of effort up for very long. That's like sprinting 30+ mph on the flat or climbing a hill fast.
150 bpm I can keep up for an extended period. That's like riding 25 mph on the flat or climbing a longer hill.
I have some HR graphs I'll try to find.
