Bugger that. The bike shouldn't need any more than a few seconds after start-up before you ride away. I find the idea 'let it sit there running needlessly to extend engine life' to be rather counterproductive.
Be it for a bike with 5kms or 50,000.
Other than that, find a hilly, windy road a short distance from you. A loop course would be ideal. Ride 'normally' there while the bike warms up. Ride up the hill, giving the bike some decent load in a variety of RPMS, then ride down, making sure to use as much engine braking as you can, at a variety of RPMs. Rinse and repeat.
Or take it to the track.
