On my 'tour, I normally sit between the N and R. If it goes above the R I'm usually in stop-and-go traffic, or sitting at a stop immediately after having been on the highway for a while. The fans kick in and the temp returns to normal. I know my car enough now to know when she's getting too warm.
I've heard about a lot of variation in temp. guages on these boards. There was a Mystique that routinely sat at the m for years with no overheating problems. You may just have to get used to how your temp guage reads.
If you're ever unsure of your actual temp, you're more than welcome to drive down to Oak Creek, and I'll scan your car. Ditto for CELs.
