Headlight \'throw\'

Noticed on my way home this evening after a quick blat over to a mates, that I can see my headlight reflecting off road signs way ahead of me (150yards?). Parked it up against a wall and checked the alighnment, and as you'd expect for a new bike, it seems to be spot on.

My question is, have you noticed that the headlight seems to appear to be aimed high, even if it isn't? Is it just particularly powerful and 'broad beamed'?

I could see a few drivers who were a bit freaked out when I was behind them, even though the main beam focus fell onto the number plate area of their car rather than directly onto the rear view mirror (still, made them look in it for a change).... before I go adjusting it downwards, is this just a 999/749 'thang'?
