My HKS gauge (metric) will get up to 125C max on a hot summer day in traffic. Normal cruising on a hot day and it's around 100-110C.
In the winter, it is lower, sometimes in the low 80s (celsius) but probably averages 95C. This is with 10w-30 Penzoil.
I have an R2 so I have dual oil coolers. The sensor for my oil temp gauge is in the oil pan. Shifting to a higher gear will bring the temp down 5-10 degrees fairly quickly on the flats when just cruising.
A guy I knew with an R1 always seemed to have oil temps about 10 degrees lower than mine...not sure why tho.
Hope this info helps...
