Hi

So my neighbour has a modern superbike, every morning he lets it idle in the driveway for like 15 minutes. The question, every modern bike I have had, the manual explicitly states to get on and ride, idling the bike is not good for the engine. This was true of my Suzuki SV, 1200GS, 650GS etc.

What is the story. Should one be idling a modern bike to warm it up or is it best to get on and go?

Thanks
