636 operating engine temp?? - Service, Repair, and Maintenance

Recently picked up an 03' 636 and was wondering what people generally see for average engine temps on these bikes. Every bike I've owned (which is about 6 now) ran in the 160-180 Fahrenheit range on the freeway. My 636 was running around 205-208 today on the freeway. Granted today it was a little warmer, maybe 80 degrees, but still for the freeway that seems high to me.

Any thoughts?

180 to 225 is casual.

Ok cool thanks. Haven't seen over 210 yet other than when idle at a stoplight, which is normal on any bike.
