sure the bike runs a little rich while warming up...
check the end of your pipes ... If the soot is dry your ok but a little wet/sticky and you are tuned too rich.

Now that you noticed it, you'll see alot of other bikes doing the same, not a big deal!

+1. If it continues to do it after you've been riding it for 10-15 minutes, then you may have some issues....
