I remember the article in Motorcycle Racer and this was discussed. I can't remember the engine builders name (and he's well known I knew his face) he said a race bike should be warmed up 20 to 25 minutes before they are used, then re-warmed up just before they were taken on to the track. Main reason for it was coolant warmed quicker than the oil temps and by running the engine this gave the oil time to warm before giving the engine the berries. I gave the magazine to my cousin when he was still road racing so can't even take quotes from it...
