Your XT will be fine !!!
Its aircooled but designed as such.. Massive cooking heatsinks surrounding the bore's sucking heat away, the motorway is the BEST place to be !!
The engines are pretty low tuned too to what they could be if they were water cooled..
Like said, replace the filler cap with an temperature guage cap and keep an eye on it..
Your oil probably isnt even going to get to 100c when cruising on a hot day. The hottest my oil got was 130c in Brazil in thick slow traffic and it still looked and smelled good 3000 miles later. (XT600E).
Modern synthetic and semi synthetic oils can take high temperates very well !! Just make sure you always use good quality oils and change when you're meant to.
Stop worrying !!!!!!!!!!
