I've observed, when warm, my Speciale idles at around 700 rpm - is this normal?

Given the engine presumably has some fairly aggressive high lift cam profiles 700 rpm seems a rather low idle speed to maintain proper oil films on lobes and followers.

Mine is at 400. But given it's an imaginary car, I can't see it causing much trouble.
