why switch to anything else, the temps are fine. There is no need to do anything to try to be two degrees cooler.

i think its normal, any way just get ur bike to the honda compnay and do service for it change the oil and let them change all the fluids esp the water.
i think that might help u out and solve ur problem

Shouldn't be running that hot on the highway.
First check coolant level & condition.
If that is good then I would check the t-stat & water pump.

+1. Your bike is operating per factory specifications.

Your temps seem to be about right, maybe a little high, but if your worried too much about give this a try to help your bike "keep it's cool"

i just bleed the system again and took some coolant out. it seems to be running a little better now. was stayin around 175 while 50mph. and it took awhile to get to 200.

Sounds much better...
Might have a had a big air pocket in the cooling system perhaps...:icon_nic:

dont take coolant out :icon_doh: how did you bleed the system. I assume you let it run up to 205-210 and let it bubble and then put more coolant in and then repeated the whole thing again until the coolant level quits dropping
