In the PNW, with weather in the 60's, it runs 145-165 when you are moving. As any hi perf engine, when sitting at idle, it builds up rapidly to 205, then kicks the fan on around that temp.

varies with the temp outside. when it is 30-40 degrees, the bike is running in the mid 140s. when it is 60-70 degrees, the bike is running in the 160s.

75 degree day - around 160 while traveling.
What gets me is 6000 rpm in 6th gear gives you around 80mph. I was crusing the other day and did not even realize I had another gear to pull (true overdrive).

165-175 moving at 85 degrees outside, but got stuck in traffic and went to 230 and the fan was running the whole time but didnt move the temp down any just kept it from climing more. dam thing gets hot when stuck in traffic, muzzy fans might help.

I'm still in the first 500 mi, so it's 4,000 rpm for me. And that's 60 mph in 6th.
