I was also wondering if 210 was too hot.
210° degrees at a steady cruise is a bit warm. On the highway with a good breeze, temperature should ideally be no more than 185°.
Problem with 210° at a steady cruise means if you start to put any load on it, or need to climb a hill, you have less (what I call "Head Room") once it starts to heat up. The hotter you run, the less cooling efficiency you have. Meaning the hotter it gets, the longer it'll take to cool down.
