On a warm day, 15-20 minutes. In the winter it may never reach the first mark. Welcome to the world of air cooled engines. No thermostat to keep water in the engine block to force the temperature of the block up quickly. All you have is air and 10-12 quarts of cold oil.

it will take forever if you let it sit and idle
- that's bad for the engine too Drive off - easy on the pedals - as soon as it doesn't stumble

I agree w/ all of the above, in addition the cooling on the newer engines is very efficient.
