Not to rain on your parade, but I would bet I would easily go around a corner at double the advisory speed on my m/c. In fact if I am riding on roads that I don't know very well, I use double the advisory speed as a good guide to what I can SAFELY go through the corner at.
To the OP, if you have never lost traction on a m/c without the aid of gravel/oil/water then you have not been riding hard enough! It does happen, but you have to be pushing pretty hard. It is much easier to reach this limit on a road bike (bicycle) due to the much smaller contact patch as a previous poster said.

Well do me a favor and don't ride on my roads. Take this behavior to a track where it belongs.
