I don't have a proper heartrate monitor but the hand-held thingys built into the bike handles say I maintain it at about 125-135. On the up side, my resting heartrate has dropped and my blood pressure is down. Doctor is quite happy with me.

Regarding HR monitors and Exercise bikes. Your body will adjust to doing cardio on the bike pretty quick. There is a massive difference between a gym bike and being on the road. I can pretty much go full steam on a gym bike and never get my heart that high, certainly not out of fat burning range and i struggle to keep it in there. If you can get out onto a proper cycle. The difference is amazing.
