As far as the high RPM, be sure your choke linkage is fully returning on the carb (Not just the cable or control).
Also check to see if your throttle cable has some slack in it.
The cable can even be miss-routed and can cause the throttle not to return fully.
Be careful.

As far as the temp, be sure coolant is full and no air bubbles are trapped.

I'm a CBR newb, so beware of my advise (Disclaimer...)

About how high would you say the needle is getting over the halfway mark?

Mines always ran hot,bout 3/4ths up when sitting. As long as the fan is kicking on and cooling it down a bit, the cooling system is working. I had a stuck thermostat about a year ago and even when the fan turned on it would have no impact on the temperature. It would just keep rising until I got moving. Thats when you know you have a problem...
