Default Cold Running Engine??

1990 CRX DX. New engine, water pump, radiator, 02 sensor, Honda 190 thermostat, ect. The temp gauge wasnt working. Replaced it, still does not work. So i installed an aftermarket gauge. When the car sits and runs the temp gets up to 190-195 on a normal day. Fan kicks in about 195+. When i drive the car the temp gauge drops to about 165-170. Does this sound right? I need to get the car smog checked and i know the engine should be running at a "normal" temp. Thanks.
