Sit on it, Start it, Ride off. If the engine is obviously running cold then I try to keep the throttle where it seems to be running the smoothest.
I don't like idling to warm up an engine.
I start and go. If it's running without strange noises, the oil is getting around, and that's all you need. Actually, I start it before I put on my helmet, then go.

My People S 125 has an automatic choke so I just get on her and go.

"Warming up" engine of a stationary vehicle is waste of time, money and energy (literally).
That's the best you can do for the engine - warming up with medium load.
Idling is useless, wasted fuel and wasted waering and pollution.
All wrong the oil in your engine needs to warm up if you dont warm it up it is not doing its job and will cause damage over time the ideal operating temp is 80 degree c. And as for it been a wast of fuel i have £2 of fuel in my tank and have been starting my bike once a week for half a hour to 45 mins for the last 6 month and and would guess it used 50 pence worth of fuel
