I really, really doubt you were doing 120 mph in 2nd gear. I'd put money down on that. There isn't a trans commercially available that'll do that - the gearing would be so tall, it would take several minutes to start actually getting into your power band.
It may very well have been 120 kph though. 120 kph = 74.5645431 mph. So I'm guessing that you're both reading fairly high, and read it in kph.
If you have a smartphone and can ride one-handed, use a program called Trapster to track your speed. It won't track it on a history basis, but I've found it's near-instantaneous and perfect accuracy for actual speed. So you can at least find out how off it is at relative speeds. Speed is judged by the front wheel, and is irrelevant of the tachometer. So you can do a lower RPM at, say, 70 mph and find out how far it's off.

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?
