Don't think the temp is unusual . The RC like most sportbikes is designed to run "hot" for optimum efficiency and oil film protection for longevity . It may seem counter-intuitive but cool isn't neccessarily better as long as the bike is not overheating . Yes cooler usually means more HP but that's for racebikes for which a lifetime of reliability isn't an issue .
