Is that on the stock tank?? If so thats about twice as far as most people get. No one really has anything to compare against with their jetting, apart from other settings they have tried, which is why I suggested richening up the needle one clip and experiencing the change (which may be better or worse). Its all a very personal experience depending on what you want from the bike and the way you ride. When I jet I tend to go to somewhere with an incline and do runs in different gears at different throttle positions. Basically I'm looking for good response and having the engine take revs easily. As things get leaner the bike will rev faster but may also start to lack torque and take on more of a 125 feel where its weaker below the band and super responsive on it and needs more clutch work. As they get too rich you'll get a lot of 4 stroking and burble at light throttle or part throttle. Ideally I want my bikes to fall in between these.
